The detectives investigate when a young woman is fished out of the Thames in the middle of the night, badly burnt and barely alive, with the only witnesses at the scene being a few homeless people who saw a man with a white van dumping the body in the river. Charlie runs the victim's distinctive necklace through the database and links it to Sian Jenkins, who was registered as missing in 2012, and events take a further turn when DNA taken from under her fingernails is matched to a girl who disappeared when she was eight almost a decade previously.
Set in London, each episode is a self-contained story, starting with a news report, then following the team of three detectives as they investigate the circumstances the crime. The cases themselves are hard-hitting with contemporary themes, such as the search for a soldier with PTSD, a cuddle that has been made to look like an assisted sleeping and the gang rape of a young teenager.
