The hunt to catch the killer of three young women in the Port Talbot area in 1973 and the remarkable story of how - in the first case of its kind - the mystery was solved almost 30 years later using pioneering DNA evidence. Contrasting the policing methods of the 1970s with the forensic breakthroughs of the early 2000s, the series portrays a town dealing with the repercussions of an unsolved case three decades on, and asks if justice can ever truly be found.

While in other shows the parallel plots between the past and the present sometimes feel too forced and uninteresting, in this case they are revealed as necessary to understand what could have gone wrong in the first investigation and how they can be resolved in the present the mistakes made. The most relevant about this British crime story is how it establishes that the consequences of a loss end up leaving an emotional mark that is almost impossible to erase. The precise script focuses on the victims and reveals how the impact of a violent act causes emotional wounds that never heal.
