A dark, psychologically interior true-crime drama that examines the moral and psychological toll of proximity to evil rather than sensationalizing the crimes themselves.
The story of one of the most infamous cases in UK criminal history, that of serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Told through the prism of three men, the series explores the personal and professional consequences of coming into contact with a man like Nilsen.
