Death Knock

Season 1 Episode 1 | 58m 42s

Deputy news editor for The Herald, Holly Evans, is pursuing a story about a young woman who died following a hit-and-run by a police car. The only footage of the accident, however, is in the hands of The Post, and its ruthless tabloid editor Duncan Allen. After a young footballer commits suicide, new reporter Ed Washburn interviews the boy’s parents.
