When an expensive car is pulled from the sea, veteran Northern Ireland police detective Tom Brannick (James Nesbitt - The Missing, Cold Feet) instantly sees the connection to an infamous cold case that holds enormous personal significance. Someone is trying to force the Police Service of Northern Ireland to re- open the investigation into a notorious and long-buried series of mysterious disappearances. Bloodlands follows Brannick’s obsessive campaign to unmask the semi-mythical figure behind these events – a figure code-named Goliath, after the giant shipyard cranes, Samson and Goliath that dominate the Belfast skyline. It’s a case that comes from the dark past. In the run up to the 1999 Good Friday Agreement which ended The Troubles – the violent sectarian conflict that scarred Northern Ireland for 30 years - a number of controversial individuals from both sides of the struggle, vanished. But no one wanted to rock the boat of the peace process and as these individuals simply disappeared, it was conveniently decided they had vanished of their own accord to escape justice or retribution and the issue was swept under the carpet. Tom has a special interest in the case in that he believes his wife - an intelligence officer, involved in highly dangerous undercover surveillance of terrorists - was one of his victims. Supported by his Detective Sergeant, Niahm McGovern, Tom launches an investigation un-approved by his superior officer and one-time friend Jackie Twomey, which brings them into conflict and threatens to embroil Tom’s beloved daughter Izzy, a medical student at Belfast’s Queen’s University. They embark on a journey to identify both Goliath - if such a person exists - and whoever is behind this mysterious campaign to awaken the ghosts of the past. The stakes for Tom could not be higher. 4 x 1 hr | UK Broadcaster: BBC One | Produced by: HTM | NEW Year of Production: 2020 2 3 DRAMA DRAMA THE SECRET A True Story DOCTOR THORNE The location: a picturesque seaside town in 1991.
