Major Crimes Unit

In the first edition, the team is called in when nine men ambush five men in a car on a quiet residential side street, with a gun being fired into the vehicle. The officers' instincts tell them this wasn't random, but was planned and executed with precision. Could this be a violent conflict driven by territory, drugs and status?

Late evening on a quiet, leafy street in Dudley, gunfire rips through a young woman's front door, with one shot striking her in the hip. West Midland police's major crime team takes charge, tasked to find out who could have committed such a crime, and a manhunt begins when CCTV footage shows a vehicle speeding away. From there, the investigation intensifies and a small but significant mistake by the getaway driver means the vehicle can be tracked.

The officers investigate a shooting in West Bromwich in which a driver was hit in the back and shoulder and quickly realise that this was a targeted attack. The detectives' only lead is the suspects' vehicle and the hunt begins as the team gathers hundreds of hours of CCTV, tracking the car across the city, painstakingly mapping its movements before and after the shooting.
