The Investigation Unfolds
Two young men have been found murdered in identical ritualistic settings, confirming the presence of a serial killer operating within the tight-knit Scottish region. Detective DI Monica Kennedy, portrayed by Laura Donnelly, and her partner DCI Connor Crawford, played by Mark Rowley, have been pursuing leads that initially seemed to point toward a clear suspect. However, the case proves far more complex than early assumptions suggested. A taxidermied rabbit discovered during the investigation contained photographs identifying multiple targets, with the wayward Zandy marked as the killer's latest intended victim.
When authorities attempt to protect Zandy at his school, the young drug dealer suspects trouble and flees, forcing Kennedy to track him down at his home. Upon confrontation, Zandy reveals he was indeed targeted by the killer through an initial grooming attempt, but he rejected the predatory contact outright. This protective breakthrough, however, represents only a temporary reprieve in what appears to be an expanding pattern of violence.
Secrets and Suspicions
The investigation reveals new complications beyond the murders themselves. Kennedy's personal life intrudes on the case when her young daughter Lucy begins repeating autopsy details at school, drawing unwanted attention. More concerning, James, a social worker colleague, appears as Lucy's psychologist while exhibiting suspicious behaviour during the investigation. His deliberate choice to use a colleague's computer rather than his own equipment raises immediate red flags for viewers, hinting at possible connections to either the killer or the mysterious Burning Light cult repeatedly referenced throughout the narrative.
Kennedy's own troubled background emerges as a critical element of the unfolding drama. Details reveal she was previously "brainwashed" during involvement with the cult, raising urgent questions about whether her past associations might compromise the investigation or place her family in danger. This personal vulnerability adds psychological tension to her professional pursuit of the serial killer.
