The BBC has released the first trailer for the new drama.

Detective Ember Manning is tasked with working out how the fire connects to a podcast journalist who is investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit love triangle between a man in his 20s and two underage girls.

Ember manages to get close to the truth but as she does so, it threatens to destroy her life.

This forces her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her life – including the past, present and even the town she calls home.
