STARRING:             David Morrissey, Sandra Oh
CATEGORY:           Drama
RRP DVD:              $39.99

Detective Inspector Tom Thorne investigates a series of bizarre murders, each as complex as himself. Sleepyhead – Thorne is dragged back into the nightmares of his past, as he heads up the investigation into a series of horrifying attacks on young women.

As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear the killer's intention is not to kill but to put the victims in a locked-in state. The similarities between the victims and the old case surrounding the death of a man named Frank Calvert have tensions rising within the team.

Scaredy Cat – A killer selects his victim at St Pancras station, follows her home on the tube, and strangles her to death in front of her child. A second body is discovered at the same time, killed in exactly the same way, at the back of St Pancras station. It is a grisly coincidence that eerily echoes the murders of two other women who were stabbed to death months before on the same day.

Based on the best selling crime novels by author Mark Billingham Comprises 2 x 2hour telemovies starring and produced by David Morrissey Directed by Stephen Hopkins, creator of 24 Season 1 and Californication
