Hope Street: One of Our Own

As the film opens, Port Devine is rocked by a violent crime.  When popular barmaid Brandi is assaulted in broad daylight, it’s up to Detective Constable Callum to crack the case.  Callum soon identifies newly-arrived outsider Anna as prime suspect – which is awkward because she’s dating his mentor Sergeant Marlene.  When Anna steals a car and goes on the run, it seems like an open and shut case – and Marlene is heartbroken – but maybe the true culprit is much closer to home…
