A new police drama about an ambitious young detective who's relocated from London to Newcastle. Keen to make a good impression, Det Sgt Nicky Cole goes in pursuit of the only remaining witness who can appear at the trial of a major extortionist.

Nicky Cole tries to trap a brothel owner, and investigates after a straightforward break-in at a student flat ends with a knife attack. When he questions a local prostitute, he finds that things in one area of Newcastle are not what they seem.
