Yorkshire, 1974. Fear, mistrust and institutionalised police corruption are running riot. Rookie journalist Eddie Dunford is determined to search for the truth in an increasingly complex maze of lies and deceit surrounding the police investigation into a series of child abductions. When young Clare Kemplay goes missing, Eddie and his colleague, Barry, persuade their editor to let them investigate links with two similar abductions that draw them into a deadly world of secrecy, intimidation, shocking revelations and police brutality.

A chillingly authentic dive into 1970s Yorkshire. It feels like a damp, cold wind blowing through a town suffocating under secrets and corruption. Every frame drips with unease and the grim determination of a journalist chasing shadows.
