Korea’s most intimidating actor, Heo Sung-tae (Squid Game), stars as Detective Oh Nam-hyuk—a well-meaning but spectacularly inept cop clinging to his badge by a thread. When a botched sting operation lands him in over his head, he’s forced into an unlikely partnership with Tae-bong (Jo Bok-rae), a razor-sharp informant whose cover (and savings) are blown by Nam-hyuk’s bumbling. With a smuggling ring to bust, a fortune to recover, and zero trust between them, the mismatched duo must navigate double-crosses, blown covers, spectacularly stupid raids, and bruised egos.
Returning for an extended duration of eight episodes, Patience (Ella Maisy Purvis) will continue her work in the police criminal records department of City of York Police after establishing herself as an invaluable member of the team, bringing her unique insight into a series of perplexing cases. However, when a new boss, Detective Frankie Monroe (Jessica Hynes) brings a very different management style, it proves tricky for them both to navigate. Love is also in the air in this series as Patience begins a relationship with a work colleague Elliot and the police department gets a makeover with the arrival of a new PR consultant all whilst tackling intriguing crimes in extraordinary settings such as York Minster.
