His relationship with his 9 year old son, Bunny Jnr. (Rafael Mathé) is immediately stress-tested by taking on the sudden responsibilities he had hitherto been avoiding and the need to continue his job selling moisturizer and cleanser door-to-door across the south of England. They are also both grieving, of course.
Set in the early 2000's, it is an exploration of turn of the millennium masculinity as seen from the perspective of the troubled chief protagonist who descends into a self-destructive spiral and his son Bunny Jnr. who is an eye-witness at close quarters to the unravelling of his father's life. Is redemption out there? That would be telling.

'The Death of Bunny Munro' - FAQs
Is "The Death of Bunny Munro" based on a book?
It is, Nick Cave's 2009 novel of the same name. The book only came about after the idea behind the series had been worked into a script with a film in mind (and Ray Winston in place to play Bunny) but it proved impossible to get made and so Cave turned it into a novel. He has called the fact that has now ended up on the screen at all a "miracle."
