Helen Mirren returns as Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison in the Emmy-winning Prime Suspect 2, with a powerful new story that tackles murder and racism on the streets and in the force.

A year after her first murder inquiry finds Detective Chief Inspector Tennison at the top of her game and in a precarious relationship with a fellow officer, Detective Sergeant Oswalde. When she's asked to take on a new case, it seems like another prime opportunity - but she is about to become entangled in an investigation that will find her struggling for balance in her professional and her private life.

Policing gets political when the long-buried body of an unknown black girl is found in a neighborhood rife with tension and a history of heavy-handed police work. This delicate, widely reported case coincides with Tennison's boss, Detective Superintendent Kernan's, application for promotion. And in line for the Superintendent's job if he succeeds... is Jane Tennison.

When the body is identified, the investigation is led in two directions - one by Tennison, the other chased down by Oswalde. Where their paths converge could prove dangerous, both physically and politically, with a cost that may be valued in broken families, damaged careers and lost lives.
