The synopsis further states,

''Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom, Marion and Patrick are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past. Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.''

Starring alongside Styles are Emma Corrin and David Dawson, who essay the roles of Marion and Patrick, respectively. The film is directed by Michael Grandage from a script penned by Ron Nyswaner. It's a cinematic adaptation of Bethan Roberts' novel of the same name. With a number of talented actors in the cast and a touching storyline, it'll be interesting to see how the film pans out.

My Policeman will be released on Amazon Prime Video on November 4, 2022.
