Is the press above the rule of law, or does it have its own rules?
Cal (John Simm) is released from jail by DCI Bell (Philip Glenister, Life on Mars) and colludes with him in a plan to smoke out the hit man. As Cal waits it out, his team pins the author of the anonymous letters to a City wide boy, petty criminal, named Dominic Foy. The discovery that he had a sexual history with Sonia leads the team to suspect that he is guilty. But is Stephen also hiding something from them? How did Sonia know she had the job in Stephen’s office one month before he interviewed her?
Meanwhile, Cal’s personal and professional life gets hopelessly tangled when Anne Collins urges him to meet her at a hotel. Their passion is leading them towards love, but the costs of this are explosive.
