The Cuckoo cast is made up of some big names, telling the story of a married couple who fall on hard times and welcome a lodger into their home, which turns out to be a serious mistake.
Nick and Jessica have just recently bought their dream home, a gorgeous fixer-upper in Jessica's countryside hometown. But when their financial situation changes, they invite in lodger Sian to help support the property. But she soon starts trouble.
From flirting with Nick to behaving inappropriately around the couple's adopted daughter, Alice, they soon realise something strange is going on.
