Táto séria sleduje detektíva Roba Brennana, ktorý sa po osobnej tragédii vracia k vyšetrovaniu. Každý prípad ho stavia pred zložité zločiny a morálne dilemy. Brennan musí čeliť nielen temným stránkam ľudskej povahy, ale aj vlastným vnútorným démonom. Je to napínavá jazda plná zvratov a hlbokého psychologického vhľadu.
Four teenagers find the mutilated corpse of a young girl stuffed into a dumpster in an Edinburgh alleyway. His superiors think that the case of the dumpster girl will be perfect to get him back on track. What he discovers about the murdered girl blows the case - and his life - wide open.
In a cold, windswept field on the outskirts of Edinburgh, lies the brutally mutilated body of a young woman. As DI Rob Brennan looks at the tangled mass of limbs and blood, he feels his heart freeze. But truth is hard to come by in a world of police rivalries, media hysteria and copycat crime.
