According to the award-winning author,Run Away, which consists of eight episodes, will uncover some family secrets, as Simon realizes he has a chance to save his daughter Paige. However, his journey will unearth untold violence that threatens to “blow up” his family for good. Coben also shared:
“Run Away is about family — about what we will do to keep our family intact, what secrets we keep within our family, and what secrets we keep as a family. Every time you walk past the house, there’s a whole universe that goes on behind that door and none of us have a clue what it is.”
Speaking aboutthe lead actor inRun Away, Coben knew Nesbitt would be perfect for the role and proudly sang his praises, saying, “Jimmy just has so much range. He’s so natural and authentic at all times. He’s an empathetic actor in the sense that he feels, and then you feel for him.”
