On Thursday 22 April 1993, 18-year-old black student, Stephen Lawrence, was murdered by a gang of racists on a London street.  Thirteen years later - in 2006 - the murder remains unsolved and Stephen's parents Doreen and Neville Lawrence continue their fight for justice.

Meanwhile, DCI Clive Driscoll finds Stephen's cold case files and takes on the case. 

Shocked by historical failures and omissions, Clive tasks an independent team of forensic scientists to conduct a fresh examination of the evidence.

After a forensic breakthrough, Clive reaches out to Doreen and Neville and assures them he is going to bring Stephen’s killers to justice.  While they are encouraged by the progress Clive's team have made, Doreen remains wary, jaded by past experiences with the police.
