Second Sight - Season 1

DCI Ross Tanner of the Specialist Elite Murder Unit is working on a case with ambitious DI Catherine Tully when he makes the frightening discovery that he is slowly losing his sight. Tully discovers his secret, and agrees to cover for him – under certain conditions.

DCI Tanner and company try to work through an ever-growing list of suspects for the murder. Tanner suspects that Matthew's stepfather, Adam, is hiding something, but does that make him the killer?

The two year old unsolved murder of pop violinist Vicky Ingham is the first case for the elite new Special Murder Unit headed by DCI Ross Tanner (Clive Owen). With Tanner struggling to conceal his failing eyesight from the team, DI Catherine Tully (Claire Skinner) riskily oversteps her authority leaving him professionally and emotionally exposed.

Tanner is convinced that the key to solving the vicious murder of Vicky Ingham is her young son. Tanner's extraordinary plan creates conflicts within his handpicked team that threatens to overwhelm him.

On the morning her fiancé is found bludgeoned to death in his flat after his stag night, Kerry (Josephine Butler), daughter of powerful Lord Roddam (Michael Kitchen), awakes at her home, covered in blood but adamant she has been asleep all night.

With all the evidence seeming to confirm that Kerry Roddam murdered her fiancé on his stag night, another seemingly motiveless killing draws Tanner into a world where dreams and reality conflict.

The discovery of the battered body of Ben Harris, a black community leader, pitches Tanner into a frightening climate of prejudice and bigotry. DS Jane Chancellor (Lesley Vickerage) seconded to the unit gets a second chance to prove herself to Tanner as he faces the growing mistrust of the team.

Drawn further into a climate of organized crime and murder, Tanner must discover the truth about community leader Ben Harris. Increasingly alienated from his team, Tanner faces the growing suspicion that there is an insider on the unit and with his lifelines used up, he must face the last enemy alone.
