Cush Jumbo Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Apple TV+, posits Jumbo and Capaldi as June Lenker and Dan Hegarty, London detectives linked by a murder committed 10 years earlier — with the wrong man imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.Whether justice will prevail is anyone’s guess.Lenker’s investigation into the murder pits her against the more-senior Hegarty, a well-connected cop who moonlights as a limo driver and runs with his own crew of colleagues called “The 62s.” He seems to be steering June away from finding the real culprit for reasons involving racial and ethical issues … and deep-seated police corruption.The action starts with an anonymous phone call to police from a hysterical woman claiming that her ultra-violent boyfriend (who she doesn’t name) is going to kill her — with the same knife he used to kill a woman named Adelaide Burrows in 2012 while her 6-year-old son, Patrick, cowered in the next room.The woman claims that Errol Mathis, who’s serving 24 years in prison for Adelaide’s murder — they were lovers — was wrongfully convicted of the crime, for which he confessed and then recanted, and that the real killer (her boyfriend) is still roaming the streets and even boasting to her about the murder.Lenker plunges headlong into the case, trying to discover the anonymous caller and digging into what really happened in 2012 with Burrows.

Justice is swift, but truth takes time. In the heart of London, an anonymous call draws two detectives into a fight to correct an old miscarriage of justice.
