The premise

Detective superintendent reopens two unsolved murder cases from the 1980s. Forensic methods link the crimes to a string of burglaries. Steve's team has to find more evidence before the perpetrator is released from prison.

Horror Vault's take

Based on real events in Wales, this gripping true-crime drama follows a detective superintendent who refuses to let decades-old unsolved murders stay buried. When modern forensic techniques begin connecting a series of violent crimes, his team races against a ticking clock to build an airtight case. The procedural tension is quietly suffocating, driven by the knowledge that a dangerous man could walk free at any moment.
