Following a break-in, a frail, elderly woman is found dead in her flat. DS Ronnie Brooks and DS Sam Casey suspect a robbery gone wrong and treat it as cuddle. Tipped off by the victim's granddaughter, Connie, the investigation turns towards the live-in carer who has gone missing. But the carer, Cecile, claims she was fired because she disobeyed Connie's instructions not to feed her grandmother; Connie was starving her to passing. Further investigations throw more suspicion on the granddaughter who is charged. Despite her brief arguing that it is impossible to prove Connie is responsible for her grandmother's passing, Chief Prosecutor Jake Thorne has the bit between his teeth when he tells the jury Connie was the only real family the victim had, and she left her to die.

Law & Order: UK Show Summary

Based on the wildly successful American show of the same name, "Law & Order: UK" follows a group of detectives and prosecutors as they work together to solve crimes and bring perpetrators to justice in London. Ronnie Brooks is a cop from the East End with a tough past and a big heart. His partner, Joe Hawkins, is a young officer who has come straight from child protection to the cuddle squad. Their boss DI Wes Leyton has been through it all and knows the only way to change things is from the inside.

On the side of the court is Crown Prosecutor Jacob Thorne, a gifted and uncompromising criminal prosecutor. His second chair is defence barrister turned Crown Prosecutor Kate Barker who is fresh from the more lucrative side of the courtroom. With Henry Sharpe as their wise and pragmatic boss. The two teams encounter never-ending action in their quest to keep London safe.

Employing the original series' iconic two-part structure that focuses first on the investigation of a crime at the police level and then shifts in its second half to the prosecution of the suspects, Law & Order: UK approaches the format and characters from a uniquely English perspective. The episodes are based on scripts and episodes of the parent series.
