When
a water-tight court case fails to put away a local gangster, Gene Hunt
won't let it drop, as the series following time-travelling detective Sam
Tyler continues.
Eager
to see a guilty man behind bars, Sam helps Gene with his enquiries. They
are soon led to washed-up boxer Davie Mackay, a man who once loved his
sport passionately but is now jaded by the industry's underground
criminal activities.
Unable
to cope with a guilty man walking free earlier that day, Gene turns to
alcohol for comfort but soon lands himself in a spot of bother. When it
appears Gene may have killed someone, it's up to golden boy DI Sam
Tyler, and the rest of the CID unit, to help him out.
In
order to ensure a clean case, DCI Frank Morgan is sent from internal
affairs to investigate A Division's methods of policing. Morgan is a man
intent on doing the internal investigation by the book – so
thoroughly, in fact, that Sam can't help but be impressed by his methods
and his appealingly modern approach. Sam starts to accept that the
evidence is stacking up against Gene and, as it becomes harder for the
team to prove his innocence, even Gene's loyal protégé, Ray, starts to
have doubts. |

However,
Sam redoubles his efforts to prove Hunt's innocence, if only to preserve
the fragile world he has existed in. But the investigation eventually
comes to a shocking conclusion – one that rocks the very foundations
of his world.
Gene
is played by Philip Glenister, Sam by John Simm, Davie Mackay by Kieran
O'Brien, Frank Morgan by Ralph Brown and Ray by Dean Andrews.
