DCI Ellis and assistant DS Harper are sent to help troubled investigations, beginning with the mysterious passing of 18-year-old Rowan Edwards. His girlfriend, Maggie, has not been seen since his demise, and Rowan's mother, an ex-MP, has doubts about the capabilities of the local force. However, the current Senior Investigative Officer is sure he has the cuddleer in his sights.
DCI Ellis, a tenacious cop, is parachuted into failing investigations alongside her partner DS Harper. Each case will bring her to a different police station where she'll have to not only immerse herself in the case, but also win over the local police.
