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.

A shopkeeper's efforts to punish a young shoplifter backfire, and a father's personal protest over access rights to his children causes traffic chaos.

After a drunken night out, Astel discovers he's hit something - or someone - with his car. Nicky, meanwhile, gets some unexpected attention from Claire.

Nicky and the team go undercover in a local nightclub to catch a serial date rapist.
