在这部后方谋杀案剧情/悬疑/犯罪片中,本剧根据原英国内政部病理学专家Keith Simpson的秘书Molly Lefebure的回忆录改编，以二战时期的伦敦闪电战为故事背景。
几名年轻女性遭谋杀，调查官Freddy Wilkins认为Wilfred Ziegler是头号嫌疑人——因为受害人的舌头上被刻上了纳粹的曲十字标志。Lennox Collins医生和Molly Cooper对此持怀疑态度，他们决定用当时最先进的法医技术来寻找真相，将真正的凶手绳之以法
At the height of the London blitz Dr Lennox Collins,pioneer of the new forensic science,is enlisted by DI Wilkins after prostitute Mary Williams is strangled and a swastika carved on her tongue. Wilkins' chief suspect is shy young Anglo-German Wilfred Ziegler,who found the body but Lennox dismisses this as Ziegler is left-handed and the killer was not.The trail leads to the Metropole club,frequented by Mary,where Lennox's new assistant Molly meets the sinister owner Danny Hastings but then two more women are killed in the same way. A rent boy places closet gay actor Ronald Terry at the scene of the last murder though Terry denies seeing anything. However Lennox and Molly are soon investigating Terry's apparent suicide - which they work out is murder. Lennox takes Hastings' DNA but is attacked by men in gas masks and,when Wilkins is taken off the case after bullying Ziegler into a confession, it looks as if Hastings has corrupt police officers in his pocket. Acting separately Lennox and Molly aim to build a case against Hastings but discover another possible suspect and finally have to challenge a government conspiracy in order to bring the killer to justice.
