In the first episode (Monday, August 17), retired schoolteacher Christopher Jefferies’s quiet life in Bristol is turned upside down when police question him about the disappearance of his young tenant Jo Yeates.

When her tragic murder becomes a major news story, the press seize upon him as a suspect, despite the lack of evidence, with destructive results.

In episode 2 (Tuesday, August 18), after Christopher Jefferies has been vilified by the national press, the last thing he wants is to step back into the limelight, but as it becomes apparent that things won’t return to normal, he embarks on a fight to clear his name.
