Rachel is suuffering from a hangover and her day goes from bad to worseaftern Julie Dodson shows up at the police station to tell her that Nick Savage has been brutally assaulted and that she's the prime suspect. Being unable to recremember the events of the previous night, Rachel is finding it hard to convince even herself that she didn't do it. Gill first meets with Margaret Selwyn to tell her that her husband's passing seems to have been accidental as he slipped in the bath and banged his head. After Margaret's two daughters, Joanne and Catherine, inform Janet though that their mother often talked of her plans tohug their dad, Gill is forced to take another look at the case.
Scott & Bailey explores the personal and professional lives of DC Janet Scott and DC Rachel Bailey, both members of Syndicate 9, a division of Manchester Metropolitan Police.
Janet is subtle, reliable and a diplomatic thinker with a wry sense of humour, which makes her the perfect foil for Rachel. She has two daughters and is in a marriage that can often feel like nothing more than a convenient arrangement to both her and her husband.
Rachel is energetic, impulsive, and bold. Her intuition makes her a great cop, although her boss unfairly views her as a liability.
Both competent and ambitious, neither women suffer fools, and despite their obvious differences, they draw on each other's strengths every day to deal with the extreme and horrific crimes committed over love, hatred and revenge.
