Synopsis:

Ben Coulter is an average man in his early twenties. One evening Ben takes his father's black cab without permission and ends up in a police cell. His crime however is not theft. What appears to be an evening of spontaneous fun with a sexy stranger culminates in a dead girl with Ben covered in her blood and holding the murder weapon. Despite the wealth of evidence against him and significant gaps in his memory, Ben is sure he did not kill the girl. He is about to discover what the criminal justice system does to someone in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Season 1
Season 1, Episode 1: Episode #1.1
Original Air Date-30 June 2008
Ben Coulter, a naive young student, has sex in a council flat with a pick-up. When he wakes up before dawn he sees that the girl has been murdered. He panics and makes a run for it but is eventually arrested. All the evidence points to him as a killer though seedy duty solicitor Stone is on his side.
Season 1, Episode 2: Episode #1.2
Original Air Date-1 July 2008
Charged with the murder of the girl he slept with, Ben is remanded in custody to await his trial. He is a fragile boy in a very brutal world. Fortunately he is sharing a cell with kindly old-timer Hooch,who attempts to look out for him, but he is young and pretty and vulnerable and another recent remand, Milroy, exploits him in order to curry favour with the fearsome prison 'daddy', Freddie Graham.
Season 1, Episode 3: Episode #1.3
Original Air Date-2 July 2008
In preparation for his trial Ben's case is given to a hot shot feminist barrister, Alison Slaughter, but the naive youngster is concerned that her only concern in getting him off the murder charge is to blacken the name of the victim in order to reduce the severity of the charge. He is unwilling to play along and she rejects his case.
Season 1, Episode 4: Episode #1.4
Original Air Date-3 July 2008
Things look very bleak indeed for Ben as his Not Guilty trial proceeds and the prosecution lawyer tears him to shreds in the court. Trainee barrister Frances Kapoor now has his defence but she is letting her heart rule her head and will ultimately pay the price for it. Stone tries desperately to find a witness that will help the boy's cause.
Season 1, Episode 5: Episode #1.5
Original Air Date-4 July 2008
Things do not look good for Ben but help comes from an unexpected quarter. Harry Box, the dogged and decent policeman who arrested him, has always harboured some doubts as to his guilt. Now, playing back CCTV camera film of movement on the estate on the night of the murder, he is able to locate a drug dealer following the victim and pieces together the fact that the girl was killed for being a witness to another crime.
