Life of Crime (2013)

S1E2 1997

In 1997, Denise Woods has risen to the position of Detective Inspector in Brixton. Amidst the backdrop of ‘cool Britannia’ and ‘Blair’s babes,’ she seems poised for advancement, yet she struggles to balance her demanding career with her responsibilities as a wife to Ray Deans and mother to their young daughter. While investigating the rape-murder of a young girl named Lauren Hinds, whose body is discovered on an estate, Denise’s life takes a shocking turn. A DNA match from the new DNA database links Lauren to unsolved samples from the case of Amy Reid, dating back to 1985.
