About

A compelling contemporary series, which uses a unique blend of crime mystery, science and detection. Forensic pathologist Dr. Sam Ryan has an all-embracing, passionate notion of justice, which quite often does not accord with the police's objective of getting a conviction. This can lead to trouble, both in her personal and professional lives, but to Sam, each dead body deserves nothing but the truth. This series tackles child murder, ritual killing, a murder in the police cells and an arranged marriage, which leads Sam to confront her own demons.
