About this episode

Episode 1. This story begins on the streets of Liverpool.

Jim McCormick and his childhood friend Steve grew up side by side. But when Jim quits the police to chase big money as a salesman, their paths split. Years later, Jim is living it large with millions made from his so-called bomb detector. He reappears from the shadows with an offer that sounds too good to refuse.

What happens when loyalty meets a lie worth millions?

From Global and Forest Sounds, in partnership with Dentsu Entertainment.
