Trevor Eve stars as DI John Paxton, an officer who begins to question his job when a murderer walks free from court because of a legal technicality. His boss DCI Pete Chambers is equally disgusted by the outcome and plots the ultimate revenge – killing the culprit himself. Paxton refuses to get involved, but later discovers Chambers dead in his car – and ends up being the chief suspect for the crime…
Having been framed for the murder, Paxton has no choice but to go on the run, he leaves his wife and young family behind and embarks on a dangerous quest for the truth – a fugitive from the very system he once sought to uphold, he must prove his innocence by finding the real culprit. Lawless follows one man’s journey to the edge of despair as all that he once believed in falls apart.
A gripping and ambitious serial, ‘Lawless’ asks what might happen if public servants carried out our darkest wishes.
