Episode guide
Episode 1
One mad night and Ben Coulter's life is changed for ever. As he gets ready to go out on the town, the carefree 21-year-old looks in the mirror. It will be the last time he's able to recognise the person who looks back.
听
Little does Ben know that a wild encounter with the sexy young Melanie Lloyd will tear his life apart. They go for a ride in his father's black cab and a crazy evening ensues.
At the end of an uncharacteristically drug- and drink-fuelled night out, Ben finds himself charged with murder and, worse still, he can't remember what happened the night before.

No one wants to hear Ben's side of the story. A complex game of cat and mouse begins as soon as he is arrested, played out between the duty solicitor, Ben's world-weary solicitor Stone, and the pugnacious Detective Superintendent Box.
听
At the end of the night, Ben is finally charged with murder and appears before the magistrates in the morning.

His father has employed new, high-class lawyers to represent his son and Ben and Stone part ways.
