Purnell has been cast in the lead role of Rhiannon Lewis in Sweetpea and is the central character. And this is a very different one than our heroine Lucy in Fallout. A wallflower through and through, people don't notice her. And everything kind of seems to be going wrong for her in work and her personal life. One day something snaps, and a killer instinct comes into play.

As seen in the trailer, Rhiannon makes a list in her mind of people she'd like to kill. So what happens when she actually goes through with it? Check out the official synopsis and trailer below:

"Rhiannon Lewis doesn’t make much of an impression - people walk past her in the street without a second glance. She’s continually overlooked for a promotion  at work, the guy she likes won’t commit, and her dad is really, really sick. Then everything in her life turns upside down. Rhiannon is pushed over the edge and loses control. Suddenly the wallflower is gone, and in its place is a young woman capable of anything… Rhiannon’s life transforms as she steps into a new, intoxicating power, but can she keep her killer secret?"

Joining Purnell onscreen are Nicôle Lecky as Julia, Jon Pointing as Craig, Calam Lynch as AJ, Leah Harvey as Marina, Jeremy Swift as Norman, and Dustin Demri-Burns as Jeff.
