What is this episode about

James Graham, winner of numerous literary awards, has written a politically relevant thriller about a town torn apart by two brutal murders.

Because of their tangled political histories, the industrial towns near Sherwood Forest are often riven by internal strife. But when two locals die, old wounds are reopened and fear spreads through the community.

Before long, nobody is safe, everyone is turning on each other, and not even the authorities can be relied upon. Police chief Ian and his London counterpart, Kevin, are on the hook to solve the crime and expose the truth. Can they put aside their own baggage and work towards mending this broken community?

Sherwood is a shockingly timely thriller inspired by actual events that explores the growing mistrust of local law enforcement and national government and the surprising resilience of simmering political tensions.
