S01E01
In South London a young man, Abdullah Asif, is shot dead delivering a pizza.
The detective in charge, DI Kip Glaspie, quickly discovers that the pizza manager Laurie Stone, inexplicably sent Syrian refugee Abdullah instead of regular driver Mikey Gowans. At the crime scene, KIP dismisses pushy reporter Robert Walsh, and is briefed by her partner DS Nathan Bilk.
The killing seems professional, but the only witness - a young woman strung out on drugs on the street corner - gives the police a false name and address. Local MP David Mars arrives to comfort his ex-wife Karen, the customer of the fatal pizza delivery.
