A suicidal man drives his car across a railway causing the train to crash and killing 15 people, but he survives. Crown Prosecutor Jake Thorne pursues the culprit, Finn Tyler, with vigour whilst the man’s defence barrister tries to prove his vulnerability and mental illness. Just as the case finishes, his boss, CPS Director Henry Sharpe, springs one more surprise on Jake…Kate is Alesha’s replacement. Another new face is DI Wes Leyton. He’s an old colleague of Ronnie’s and is covering for DI Chandler when Tyler is found dead in his cell at court and the last person seen entering the cell was DS Sam Casey.
