She’s assigned a case that has haunted Scotland since 1984: the kidnapping of Catriona Grant and her two-year-old son Adam, who vanished without a trace after being snatched outside a Fife chippy.

Now, decades later, a man’s body with clear links to the crime has surfaced — and Karen must race to uncover the truth before the past claims more victims.

Her loyal team, DC Jason ‘Mint’ Murray (Chris Jenks) and DS Phil Parhatka (Zach Wyatt), are back to help.

Meanwhile, the powerful Sir Broderick Grant (James Cosmo) is desperate for answers about his missing daughter.

The returning cast also includes Emer Kenny, Steve John Shepherd, and Rakhee Thakrar, joined by newcomers like Saskia Ashdown, Frances Tomelty and Julia Brown.

Produced by the makers of Line of Duty, Karen Pirie’s new series promises a dark, gripping mystery you won’t want to miss.
