A tense psychological crime drama from a former Yorkshire policeman. When a suspect emerges in a brutal murder within the gay community of Lessford, the police are frustrated by a complete lack of hard evidence. Two senior officers, desperate for a breakthrough, devise a high-stakes and elaborate entrapment scheme to snare their man. The plan eventually nets them a "criminal," but the subsequent confession is so shocking that it leaves both the investigators and the legal system reeling. Wainwright, known for his gritty realism and complex character studies, delivers a haunting look at the ethics of policing and the dark secrets that lie beneath a confession.
