SPOILER ALERT: This story includes key storylines and details about “I Will Find You,” now streaming on Netflix.

Sam Worthington has his wife to thank for his role in one of Netflix’s most successful series, “I Will Find You.”

The show, the latest adaptation from novelist Harlan Coben, sees Worthington as David Burroughs, a man convicted and sent to prison for brutally beating his young son Matthew to death. After spending five years behind bars, David’s sister-in-law Rachel – a Boston Globe reporter played by Britt Lower – helps him escape to prove that he’s not only innocent, but that his son is still alive. Rounding out the cast are Milo Ventimiglia as Rachel’s wildly wealthy ex-boyfriend Hayden and Madeline Stowe as his seemingly sinister mother. Logan Browning and Chi McBride play FBI agents on the hunt for David.
