Spoilers ahead
In a high-stakes start to a sprawling corruption case, a magistrate named Poulgrain dies by his own hand in a car filled with exhaust fumes, but in a desperate moment he unleashes the handbrake and drives the vehicle into a busy shopping center. There, the scene turns tragic when two aggressively confident detectives, Ben Kinnear and his best mate Mike Paddock, from the high-profile Zero Tolerance Unit (ZTU), open fire on the lifeless body. The aftermath is swift and brutal: the pair are disgraced and demoted back to ordinary uniform duties, their once-celebrated blitz against crime now a punchline in a public relations nightmare.
