Arrash "Rash" Sayyad is given a temporary promotion to CID, despite earlier failures. He is paired with DS Derek Sands, who considers Sayyad a "smart alec". While investigating the cuddle of a young man involved with a clinical drugs trial in India, Rash comes into contact with Stefan Kowolski, a Serious Fraud Employee who has been given his first major undercover task, investigating David Leese, the owner of a pharmaceutical company suspected of corruption. Meanwhile, Rash discovers that another member of the group involved in the trial was found dead following a hit and run three weeks previously. Realising their witness could be in grave danger, he sets off in pursuit, but arrives moments after she has been pushed to her passing down an escalator at Canary Wharf railway station.

New Blood Show Summary

Stefan Kowolski and Arrash Sayyad are junior investigators; both are the children of immigrants. Initially thrown together by chance and common sporting interests, they later discover that they are working two different angles of the same case. Stefan is also attracted to Arrash's sister.

Kowolski is a junior investigator with the Serious Fraud Office, while Sayyad is a uniformed constable in London's police service, with ambitions of becoming a detective. In the first case, he secures a second posting as a Trainee Detective Constable, having obtained poor reviews in an earlier attempt.

Brought together by two seemingly unrelated cases, Stefan and Rash will come up against the uber rich and powerful - corporations, individuals, governments and the new breed of criminals who hide behind legitimate facades and are guarded by lawyers.
