Description

The ghosts of the past will not be silenced.

Glasgow, 1983, and a beat constable walks away from a bar where he knows a crime is about to be committed. It is a decision that will haunt him for the rest of his life.

In the present, an old fisherman is found dead by Kinloch's shoreline and a stranger with a deadly mission moves into town.

As past and present collide, D.C.I. Jim Daley must confront old friends, new foes and ghosts who will not be silenced.

Soon to be a major TV series.
