Set and filmed in Liverpool, the fictional drama follows the Mitchell family as they grapple with the devastating aftermath of an act of abuse.
It was committed by a family member who has just been released from prison after serving his sentence.
BAFTA-winner David Threlfall will star in the new drama.
He was previously in Shameless, Nightsleeper and Housewife 4.
Emmerdale star Mark Womack – who played DI Mark Malone – is also in the cast.
His previous appearances include gritty police drama The Responder, Playing the Field, Moving On.
They will be joined by Emmy-winner Anna Friel (from Marcella, Pushing Daisies) and Bobby Schofield (from Time, Anne, SAS Rogue Heroes).
And BAFTA-winner Anna Maxwell Martin (from Motherland, A Spy Among Friends, Poppy Shakespeare) will make an appearance.
Colin McKeown, executive producer for LA Productions said: “This is a profoundly challenging and sensitive subject, tackled with intelligence and care by Jimmy McGovern.
“It’s a privilege to be working with him again following the success of our previous collaborations on single dramas: Common, Care, Reg and Anthony.”
Writer Jimmy McGovern said: “I can’t believe the cast and crew that have been assembled for this production. It’s a challenging film, yes, but I can’t wait for it to be shown.”
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, said: “Jimmy McGovern is one of our greatest dramatists, and a master at writing about today’s world.
“His new film sensitively examines the pain of abuse and how it affects not only the victim but ripples out across the whole family.
“To see it brought to the screen with such a high calibre cast and creative team is further testament to the quality of Jimmy’s writing.”
The drama is written by the multi-award-winning screenwriter Jimmy McGovern, who also wrote Time, Cracker and The Street.
