"Steve Coogan stars as Don, a jaded detective who assembles a team of misfit customs employees, either bored or bold enough to gamble with their careers and lives."
"The series is inspired by real events in the 90s, where officers infiltrated heroin-smuggling rings at the behest of Margaret Thatcher, who needed a crisis to solve."
"As the officers embed themselves within criminal gangs, the stakes rise, identities collapse, and events become increasingly nerve-jangling."
Neil Forsyth's thriller features Steve Coogan as Don, a detective who recruits misfit customs employees to infiltrate heroin-smuggling rings. Inspired by 90s events involving officers working under Margaret Thatcher, the narrative unfolds as a slow burn. As the team embeds within criminal gangs, the stakes rise, leading to nerve-jangling moments. The series contrasts with Forsyth's previous work, The Gold, while maintaining a picaresque tone. The characters face challenges that test their identities and resolve in a high-stakes environment.
