Outlander star Lauren Lyle takes the lead role of Karen Pirie in a new ITV/STV drama series from World Productionsm the producers of hit shows such as Line Of Duty and Bodyguard.
Adapted by Emer Kenny, who will also take the role of DS Pirie's friend River Wilde.
In 1996 St. Andrews, three drunken students are discovered at the scene of a murder.
Young barmaid Rosie Duff has been assaulted, stabbed and left for dead, and the only suspects are the three young men now stained with her blood, claiming to have stumbled across her on the way home from a party.
Twenty-five years later, Rosie's unsolved murder has become the subject of a provocative true crime podcast and Detective Sergeant Karen Pirie is put in charge of the cold case review.
But as complications within the investigation grow, it becomes increasingly apparent that Rosie harboured a long-held family secret that could potentially unlock the mysteries surrounding the case.
When new evidence emerges implicating one of the students, Karen hunts down the suspect to get their version of the story.
The entire series will stream on ITV Hub & STV Player at 23:00, just after episode 1 concluded on ITV & STV.
