The first three episodes did not do much for me. Anna Dean (Kelly Macdonald) is a nurse whose life ended in turmoil when her young son was killed 15 years ago by a 14 year old boy.
Now Anna Dean stands trial for leaking the identity of a man who she thinks killed her son all those years ago. The killer's identity is protected under the law after he was released from incarceration.
Craig Myers (James Harkness) was badly beaten up by vigilantes who thought he was the killer of Anna's son.
Even though he is the victim, Craig has to deny at court that he is a child killer. Even at her trial Anna Dean is not convinced that it is a case of mistaken identity. She really believes that Craig Myers is the new identity of her son's murderer.
Both MacDonald and Harkness step up the plate in the final stages of this drama. The concluding part of Episode 4 was a hard watch. It was obviously inspired by the real life James Bulger case and raised moral and ethical issues.
