Plot

In the heart of London's grimy underbelly, we meet Det. Const. "Dangerous" Davies, a man more known for his knack for bungling than his investigative finesse. Routinely bearing the brunt of violence and handed the cases others fear to tackle, Davies is an unlikely hero in a world painted in shades of grey. When he's assigned the task of tracking down a notorious local criminal recently back from abroad, possibly orchestrating "a big job", Davies finds himself thrown into the deep end of the city's seedy underworld. In his pursuit of justice, Davies stumbles upon a forgotten mystery - a 15-year-old cold case involving the eerie disappearance of a young girl. Touched by the plight of the girl and her bereaved parents, Davies is drawn into a relentless quest to solve the case. This compassion-fueled obsession unwittingly steers him into a labyrinth of unexpected twists and turns. "Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective" is a gritty journey into the world of crime and redemption. It's a tale of an underdog detective, his pursuit of a hardened criminal, and his unexpected descent into a long-forgotten mystery that's been waiting in the darkest corners of London. What follows is a story of relentless determination, unexpected connections, and the profound impact of empathy in the most unlikely places.
