Graham returns to the central role of Benjamin in the crime drama and is joined on the cast list by Michael Smiley, Christopher Fairbank, and Rebecca Callard.

Growing up in an orthodox Jewish community, Benjamin (Graham) is bullied for his religion. Taking to boxing as a means of self-defence, his choice alienates him from both his family and community as he becomes increasingly involved in dangerous, unlicensed fights.

As the responsibility of business, marriage and family overwhelm him, Benjamin is forced to make a choice which devastates everything he has spent his life building.

Years later, Benjamin returns from prison to find he has lost everything. Desperate and searching for redemption he returns to the boxing club and the friend he thought he could trust, uncovering a series of truths which turns all he knows upside down.

Orthodox is released 13th November.
