This is a fictional series based on a true story, set in the Nottinghamshire mining village where writer James Graham grew up. The story focuses on two shocking murders that shatter an already divided community and trigger one of the biggest manhunts in British history. Inspectors Ian St Clair of the local police and Kevin Salisbury of the Metropolitan Police must put aside their past rivalry and work together to solve the case. There is widespread suspicion that the deaths may have intensified the historic divisions sparked during the miners' strike in the 1980s, tearing families apart.
