This gripping new drama follows an urgent response police officer at rock bottom as he searches for redemption in the darkest of places.
Officer Chris Carson (Martin Freeman) has been tasked with working a series of night shifts on his beat in Liverpool.
It’s a high pressure, relentless night-time world where his survival now depends on the rookie partner he’s been forced to take on. Chris has more than the job to worry about, as his personal life has been hit by crisis, and he is morally compromised in his work.
As he struggles to keep a grip on his mental health, a path to redemption appears in the form of a young heroin addict.
