An anonymous tip regarding a historical murder pits a young, idealistic detective sergeant against a powerful and well-connected detective chief inspector. Their clash exposes deep-seated prejudices and the moral compromises made by the veteran officer to secure a past conviction. A gripping and sophisticated urban thriller that functions as both a tense mystery and a pointed critique of institutional bias.
The drama is driven by the electric opposition between its two leads, representing the friction between old-school policing and modern accountability. It is a dense, rewarding watch that uses the London landscape to mirror the murky ethics of its characters.
