Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison returns to head a grim murder investigation when the body of a young Black woman—her face unrecognisable—is found in one of London’s poorest boroughs. As racial tensions erupt across the city, Tennison battles not only a ruthless killer but also systemic racism and political games within Scotland Yard. Her personal life is thrown into chaos when lurid tabloid headlines threaten to undermine her credibility. Despite growing pressure and hostility, Tennison becomes obsessed with finding justice, even as her professional and emotional resilience frays. In a tense race against time, she must navigate a volatile sociopolitical climate to confront darkness both outside and within the force.
