TV`s toughest detective, DCI Frank Burnside (CHRISTOPHER ELLISON) stars in his own series as a member of the National Crime Squad, investigating the darker side of crime. The British equivalent of the FBI, The National Crime Squad`s remit is to target the nation`s most dangerous, prolific and skilled criminals in order to disrupt their work and bring them to justice. A hugely popular character in the award-winning police drama The Bill, Burnside delves into the murky world of gun-running and gang warfare as he goes on the trail of arms traffickers, money launderers and a warped serial murderer in a hard hitting series of investigations. Joining Burnside`s team are DS Dave Summers (JUSTIN PIERRE) and DC Sam Phillips (ZOE EELES), two young detectives who find themselves having to adjust to his no-nonsense approach to policing. They may be younger, fitter and trained in modern policing techniques, but Burnside gets results.
