Law & Order: UK

When the bones of 8 year old Tommy Keegan are discovered in the communal basement of a house in Ladbroke Grove, DS Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh), DS Matt Devlin (Jamie Bamber) and DI Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter) have a twenty five year old cold case on their hands. Tommy’s mother’s grief and the shoddiness of the previous investigation drives the team to bring Tommy’s killer to justice. But the only people who seem to know anything about the case are the man originally arrested for Tommy’s disappearance Ed Connor (Anthony Higgins), and Julia Mortimer (Holly Aird), Tommy’s best friend, but both are reluctant to help the new investigation. When Julia is persuaded to take part in EMDR therapy to revisit her memory of the night Tommy went missing, a terrible secret is revealed. Crown Prosecutor Alesha Phillips (Freema Agyeman) and Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel (Ben Daniels) proceed to build a case against the better judgement of George Castle (Bill Paterson) who is sure the jury will be highly sceptical about the recovered memory and what it has uncovered. Julia’s parents, Vernon (Keith Barron) and Catherine (Margot Leicester) warn James that this is an opportunistic vendetta on Julia’s part, but James is convinced about what she saw that night. James sets out to prove the case against all odds, compelling barrister Doug Greer (Colin Salmon) that Julia’s telling the truth.
