The TV miniseries of THE TAKE received rave reviews. It screened here in 2009 on channel 7 in prime time.

Freddie Jackson thinks he owns the underworld when he gets out of prison. He s done his time, made the right connections, and now he s ready to use them. His wife Jackie just wants her husband home, but she s forgotten the rows, the violence, and the girls Freddie can t leave alone. Bitter, resentful, and increasingly unstable, Jackie watches her life crumble while her little sister Maggie s star rises. In love with Freddie s cousin Jimmy, Maggie is determined not to end up like her sister.

Families should stick together, but behind closed doors, jealousy and betrayal can fester until everyone s life is infected. And for the Jacksons, loyalty cannot win out. Because in their world you can trust no one. In their world everyone is on the take.
