Plot:
Having been passed over for promotion at Southampton Row police station, Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison's (Dame Helen Mirren's) request for a transfer is approved and she finds herself heading the Vice Squad. They have a major investigation under way, known as "Operation Contract", which is meant to root out a male prostitution ring involving underage boys. The day of her arrival coincides with a fire in which one of these young boys, Colin "Connie" Jenkins (Greg Saunders), is found dead. There are several suspects including a known pimp, James Jackson (David Thewlis) as well as Edward Parker-Jones (Ciaran Hinds), the head of a local youth center where many of these boys congregate. As the investigation continues, Tennison learns that Connie was trying to sell his story to a journalist with a promise to reveal a Member of Parliament and very senior police officer as clients. In the midst of all this, Jane receives some surprising and potentially life-altering news from her doctor.
