Synopsis:

For six years, Australian audiences immersed themselves in the shadowy and volatile world of undercover police work in the multi-award winning series, Stingers. With a cast that featured Peter Phelps, Gary Sweet and Kate Kendall, Stingers portrayed police work like no other Australian-produced television: gritty, full of action and based on the real-life experiences of undercover police. In the eighth and final season, Angie faces personal tragedy, Harris battles drug addiction and in a shocking turn of events, the unit is left wondering if Church still has what it takes to play in the undercover game.
