What happens in the show?

The drama brings together the unlikely partners DCI McDonald (Gouveia) and DS Dodds (Watkins).

McDonald is ambitious and outgoing whereas Dodd is the more reserved of the two.

ITV said: “While McDonald has transferred from the mean streets of South London to leap up the career ladder, Dodds has happily languished on the shelf for most of his working life.

“McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic.”
