Publisher's summary

A gripping psychological BBC drama series about a probation officer who uncovers an abuse scandal.

When the body of 17-year-old Jackie Shaw is found in a shallow grave, it sends shockwaves through her small West Yorkshire community. Rumours of murder and systematic sexual abuse are rife, and the town's MP, Samuel Stokes, is adding fuel to the fire with his campaign against a so-called 'Asian grooming gang'.

Probation officer Rachel Collier deals with paedophiles on a daily basis: so when she hears that her teenage daughter, Chloe, has become friendly with 24-year-old Tariq, she's concerned where it might lead. But that's not her only worry: she's also struggling to deal with her husband's adultery, her feelings for her Catholic priest, Father Fitzgerald, and her new client, Peter, a sex offender whose victim was Jackie's best friend.

Then three local men, the Jamali brothers, are arrested for murder. The police are confident that the gang's ringleaders are behind bars - but Peter insists that the trio are innocent, and the real perpetrators are being protected. As Rachel investigates what seems to be an establishment cover-up, she places herself and her family in danger - and discovers that nothing, and no-one, is what they seem...

Written by award-winning dramatist Christopher Reason, this intriguing thriller stars Rosie Cavaliero as Rachel, with a star cast including Shaun Dooley, Shannon Flynn and Sacha Dhawan.

'Bearing Witness' styled story

Every now and then, you come across a story that gives you a perspective you'd have never had before you heard it.
This story deals with prostitution, trauma, pedophiles with a point of view and prominent liars scaring vulnerable youth and abusing power.
As in life, some parts of this is harsh, but as in good drama-fiction, some parts won't tell you everything.
Bear with it, if you need something close to real in your drama-fiction collection because the reveals throughout are worth it.
