The crime drama series returns with the first episode of a two-part story. When a victim of a frenzied attack is found in the woods with his head caved in, initially the team wonders if it is a random attack or related to the location - where a local girl recently committed suicide. Banks, however, has a theory of his own. When the victim is identified as small time drug dealer Damon Horsley and Banks uncovers a link to local crime boss Steve Richards, he is convinced the hitherto untouchable Richards had a part in the murder.

No-nonsense Yorkshire detective Alan Banks (Stephen Tompkinson) tackles each new case with the weary professionalism of a man who has seen too much. Watch him doggedly decipher the clues in the gruesome murders on his patch.
