Netflix's new thriller series Run Away, starring James Nesbitt and Ruth Jones, premiered on New Year's Day and has captivated audiences with its twists. The show follows Simon Greene (Nesbitt), a father searching for his missing teenage daughter Paige (Ellie de Lange). In the finale, Simon survives a shootout with cult members Dee-Dee and Ash, who are killed. Simon is hospitalised and tells paramedics to alert Detective Fagbenle (Alfred Enoch) about a lead on Paige.
Fagbenle raids the cult's compound, Shining Haven, arresting leader Casper Vartage. He reveals that Vartage fathered multiple sons, including Aaron, who were deemed 'un-divine' and targeted for murder. Dee-Dee and Ash were hired hitmen. A mysterious woman, Mother Adiona, saved Simon by killing Dee-Dee. She later visits Simon, confessing she is the mother of one of Vartage's sons and acted to protect him. She does not know Paige's whereabouts.
Months later, Simon finds Paige in a hospital visiting her mother Ingrid (Minnie Driver). Paige had been in rehab, unaware of the events. She explains she found Aaron dead in their flat and fled to rehab, where she had previously been treated. Aaron had once broken in and injected her with drugs, causing her to leave with him. The series ends with Simon and Paige reunited.
