Love at first sight leads to a difficult and dangerous liaison in this romantic drama. Owen Springer (Robson Green) is a young surgeon whose father is in failing health, though the elderly man is convinced his condition is worse than it really is. Owen has relocated to Manchester to be closer to his dad, and is looking for new employment. Owen applies for a position as a Surgical Registrar, and he's interviewed by Anna (Francesca Annis), a Management Consultant. Anna is won over by Owen's charm, and Owen is immediately struck by Anna's intelligence and good looks. Their mutual attraction leads to a romance, but there's more than one spanner in the works -- Anna is several years older than Owen, and she happens to be married -- to Owen's new superior. Produced for British television, Reckless first aired in the United States as part of the award-winning anthology series Masterpiece Theatre. Mark Deming, Rovi Read Less
