In 1984, Jean Road, a 49-year-old mother of three, awakes at home in Bath, Somerset and wonders where her 17-year-old daughter Melanie can be. Her bed hasn't been slept in. Just then, Jean and her husband Tony hear someone shouting through a loudspeaker: 'Does anyone know Melanie?' Jean runs to the police car outside only to discover that her daughter has been murdered in a nearby street as she walked home from a club in the early hours. Britain's biggest manhunt begins. A trail of blood is found leading from the scene. It's a rare blood type and later becomes known to officers as 'green blood'. Despite a yearlong inquiry and 94 arrests, the inquiry is wound down. No-one's charged with Melanie's murder. 25 years later, DS Julie Mackay transfers to Avon & Somerset Police's Cold Case Unit. In the police warehouse, Julie unearths a file from the original inquiry and becomes hooked by the details.
