Ross Tanner, a maverick ambitious Detective Chief Inspector who gets results by always going that extra mile is a man with a terrible secret. Detective Inspector Catherine Tully, a competitive graduate officer is drafted into Tanner's serious crime unit to help investigate the apparently motiveless, brutal murder of a nineteen year-old boy.
As the investigation develops Catherine realises the nature of Tanner's dreadful secret: he is losing his sight. His obsession with the case is fuelled by his private terror. An uneasy alliance is formed between them. She will be his eye's, on certain conditions - terms which will enhance her career prospects.
But Tanners relationship to the world is becoming increasingly fragile. Instinct tells him that if he is to survive he must reinvent himself and use the alchemy of all his senses. He must relinquish his old reliance on the hi-tech, forensic approach to detective work and seek a more radical, intuitive way of seeing.
Starring Clive Owen and Claire Skinner.
