Synopsis:

Based on the best-selling crime novel from a series by Denise Mina, set in Glasgow in 1982, Paddy Meehan is a young girl in a world of men; a feisty 'copy boy' in the sexist, hard-boozing, cutthroat world of journalism. Paddy dreams of being an investigative reporter, and she grabs the opportunity when a young boy, Brian Wilcox, is kidnapped and found murdered. Paddy sees connections to a year-old crime that nobody else sees and she is determined to make it her story. But when Paddy crosses the line, she becomes outcast from her devoutly Catholic family and puts the lives of her colleagues, as well as her own, at risk. The closer she gets to the murderer, the closer she gets to murder; and the price of achieving her dream will prove greater than she can ever imagine.

Season 1
Season 1, Episode 1: Episode #1.1
Original Air Date-8 May 2011
In 1982 Patricia 'Paddy' Meehan,lowly Girl Friday at the Glasgow Daily Post has journalistic aspirations,despite her male colleagues' sexist remarks. When three-year-old Brian Wilcox is murdered the chief suspect is Callum,Paddy's cousin's ten- year -old son and when his name is published in the paper,his family - wrongly - blame Paddy. Unconvinced of Callum's guilt Paddy links the murder to that of another little boy,some years earlier,whose alleged killer has just hung himself in prison. Paddy interviews the man's widow,using the name of a colleague,Heather,who is later murdered.
Season 1, Episode 2: Episode #1.2
The police interview the journalists following Heather's death.However,when Paddy tries to persuade them that Brian's murder has the same hallmarks as that of little Thomas Dempsie,whose father killed himself in prison and whose mother she interviewed using Heather's name,they are not interested. Paddy speaks to alcoholic veteran hack Dr. Pete,who is sure Dempsie never murdered his son. Then,with young reporter Terry she finds evidence to suggest that mobile grocery van driver Henry Naismith,a witness in the recent case and Dempsie's cell-mate is the culprit,a fact seemingly borne out when she speaks to Calum. Further investigations down this road lead to a dangerous encounter before she gets her wish to become a fully-fledged reporter.
