Tensions run high in a Lancashire mining village.

Retired miners, Len Hopkins and Tommy Sanders, used to be mates. One dark evening, they come to blows in the pub. All because they can’t agree on an upcoming strike.

Next morning, Len is found bludgeoned to death in his outside lavatory, leaving every finger pointing at Tommy. The villagers all say he’s guilty. That he attacked Len in a moment of rage.

But Detective Monika Paniatowski’s not so sure. Her instincts tell her there’s more to this case than meets the eye.

But in an atmosphere where mistrust hangs thick as coal dust, the truth can be hard to find.

When Monika’s daughter disappears, the case suddenly turns personal.

Will her flawless instincts be enough to win them round?

THE SETTING
Whitebridge was once a thriving Northern mill town — with canals crisscrossing through it — where everyone looked to the mills for employment and business opportunities. In the 1970s, it is a place in decline, where the social fabric is ripping apart.
