Episodes
When an 11-year old Janita is seen being dragged into a car kicking and screaming from a housing estate, the police issue an Amber alert. As the minutes and hours pass by, they know their chances of rescuing the girl diminish. As Tony Hill reviews the evidence however, he becomes less and less convinced that this is an abduction by a stranger, and believes that the girl must have known her attacker. The missing girl's mother is overwrought and her stepfather has a conviction for assault. A sudden twist however changes the entire nature of the investigation, leading Tony and DI Alex Fielding to realize that they'd made a fundamental error at the outset.
Tony Hill and DI Alex Fielding find themselves investigating the ritualistic murder and mutilation of two young children. Their investigation leads them to a laboratory where they find evidence of animal sacrifice and paintings in blood. It becomes apparent to Tony that the perpetrators are casting voodoo-like spells on a variety of victims. The investigation reveals several possible suspects including a so-called preacher, Dr. Kingston and a brute of a building contractor whose building site is shut down when a young boy's heart is found buried there. The power of suggestion begins to affect several of the team, including DS Geoffries and DC Paula McIntyre who finds herself hospitalized from a strange affliction, possibly a curse, but Hill remains skeptical of the killer's ability.
The police investigate a series of rapes and murder of young, professional women in the Bradfield area. After attacking them, he dresses the victim in a previous victim's clothes and leaves their ID on the body. Why is he boasting to police about his past, leaving the bodies where they can easily be found? And why-and how-is he choosing confident, successful victims from the world of business, and killing them in Bradfield? As the investigation continues, they learn from DNA that the man is responsible for at least seven murders over the years, but that he has never been arrested and as such, are unable to identify him. In a separate case, a former patient who has run away from his care home, Jack, contacts Tony. As a child, Jack killed his family and the police are concerned that he may lash out again.
Tony Hill assists the police in investigating a series of murders. His profile suggests that the man committing these crimes may come forward as a potential witness and the police soon focus on Bernard Kelly. In his mid-30's and still living at home with a domineering mother, he seems to fit the profile, but Tony has nagging doubts as he finds significant differences in style between some of the attacks. During this time, Tony has a house guest, his old friend from university Jonathan Good, who is also a psychologist. As time goes by however, he begins to behave erratically. DI Alex Fielding is up for promotion to DCI but is having doubts, as it would likely mean having to relocate to a new city.
Dr Tony Hill, a clinical psychologist, helps Detective Inspectors Jordan and Fielding get to the bottom of inexplicable criminal cases and uses his 'dark side' to fathom serial killers and their victims.
