Luke plays real-life detective DCS Steve Wilkins of the DyfedPowys Police. In 2005, Steve risked his reputation by reopening two unsolved double murder cases that had haunted the peaceful Pembrokeshire community for almost two decades.

Steve believed that convicted burglar John Cooper was responsible for both crimes but he lacked the necessary evidence to secure a conviction.
