Protection

One morning, a devastating incident at work raises grave questions about the integrity of Liz's unit, which is rocked with accusations of corruption: it is believed that someone has been leaking information to Crowther's OCG.

As Liz starts to uncover the truth, she is confronted with disturbing and dark possibilities, raising questions not only about Brandice but also her team and her colleagues in the wider police force.

DI Liz becomes increasingly torn between her dedication to her family, her loyalty to her lover, and her duty towards her witnesses.

As Liz fights to prove foul play, she finds herself sabotaged and the danger gets frighteningly close to home. A sinister event only fuels Liz's suspicions of her fellow police officers and their possible connection with organised crime. But how long can she go on with her secret investigation before she is shut down? And how much will she risk for the sake of uncovering the truth?

The police teams grapple to resolve an escalating crisis.

Isolated and with nothing to lose, Liz goes even further on her path of transgression in her desperate pursuit of the truth. But can she uncover the conspiracy before corrupt forces stop her? And with her professional and personal worlds colliding, will she ever get to understand the truth of her relationship with DS Brandice?
