Tom Dawkins (Gabriel Byrne) is definitely in a bind. As the Deputy Prime Minister of Great Britain, Tom is suddenly thrust into the limelight (and the pressure cooker) with the death of the Prime Minister, Charles Flyte, whose plane went down over the Atlantic.
Fowl play is suspected in the form of sabotage from the American chemical corporation Petroflex. The death of the PM follows in the wake of a tragic and preventable explosion, taking the lives of the hardscrabble citizens of Scarrow.
One of the most intriguing characters is the investigative reporter, Miss Ellis Kane, who is funneling information to Tom about Petroflex.
There is good suspense surrounding the political infighting and the rivals of Tom, including Ros and Felix. The opening episode closes with the suspicious death of the toxicologist, who found that that the deceased at Scarrow were radioactive to the degree that they were nearly lighting up like Christmas trees.
What will be Tom's next move in the chess game both on the home front and with the brash American executives at Petroflex?????
