The miniseries, starring Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters, tells the heartbreaking story of Jamie Miller (played by rising star Owen Cooper), a teenager arrested for stabbing his classmate, Katie Leonard (Emilia Holliday).
While the show primarily focuses on the fallout for Jamie and his devastated family—his father Eddie (Stephen Graham), mother Manda (Christine Tremarco), and sister Lisa (Amélie Pease)—there’s something eerily absent.
In the show, Katie’s family never appears, and she herself is seemingly forgotten, with her presence erased from the narrative.
This unsettling absence is even acknowledged in Episode 2 when police officer Misha Frank (Faye Marsay) expresses frustration, saying, “Katie isn’t important. Jamie is. Everyone will remember Jamie. No one will remember her. That’s what annoys me. That’s what gets to me.”

However, one eagle-eyed viewer on TikTok, known as @indigoreports, uncovered a haunting truth—that Katie isn’t gone and she has been speaking all along, just not in the way anyone expected.
“Throughout the show we don’t ever get to hear from Katie,” the viewer explained in the video. However, the haunting secret detail is that Katie is actually talking to us throughout the show in her own way through the soundtrack.”

In a now-viral clip, the TikToker explained that Emilia Holliday, the actress who plays Katie, actually performs several songs on the show’s score.
“This is really as close as we ever get to hearing from her,” she continued. “This gives the show a much deeper meaning, knowing Katie was essentially a part of the whole thing and expressing herself through the music.”
Director Philip Barantini later confirmed this hidden layer, revealing on Netflix’s Tudum that Katie’s voice was deliberately embedded into the soundtrack. “Katie is a part of the whole series. Her presence is always there,” he mentioned.
