Red Riding: 1983

A 10-year-old girl has disappeared in Morley and Assistant Chief Constable Maurice Jobson finds himself thinking back to 9 years previously, when 10-year-old Clare Kemplay was found murdered and Jobson had a home life. A man who has sacrificed almost everything for his job Jobson realizes that he has enough of a conscience left to put a stop to the trail of false convictions. Problem is it means exposing his own guilt as well as that of his colleagues. Also trying to get the right men punished is John Piggott, a solicitor without an office, another lost soul who finds himself an unwilling soldier in the battle between right and wrong. He will also have to face his own demons as his father, a former policeman, took his life from shame at his involvement in a pedophile ring. But neither men know that BJ, who was abused as a child, has just been released from prison and is on track for revenge. This is a drama of confrontation, of men coming to terms with their pasts and an intensely moving study of two messed up men.
