There's little wonder in the working-class lives of Bill, Eileen, and their three grown daughters. They're lonely Londoners. Nadia, a cafe waitress, places personal ads, looking for love; Debbie, a single mom, entertains men at the hair salon after hours; her son spends part of the weekend with her ex, a man with a hair-trigger temper. Molly is expecting her first baby and its father acts as if the responsibility is too much for him.

When Detective Marcus Farrow (John Simm, Grace) looks into a seemingly forgotten case, he has no idea it will lead to murder charges being brought against him.

Based on the extraordinary true story of Alec Jeffreys' discovery of DNA fingerprinting and its first use by Detective Chief Superintendent David Baker in catching a double murderer.

Steve Coogan is Tony Wilson, the man responsible for bringing Manchester's music to the world in the '70s, in this biopic from BAFTA winner Michael Winterbottom (The Trip).
