β¦ Synopsis
"No one is a policeman in a fight..."
While trying to apprehend a dangerous suspect, PC John Manners ends up in a life or death struggle, and the suspect ends up dead.
While suspended from duty and awaiting trial for manslaughter, even Manners is unsure whether he is innocent or guilty of killing Lee Andrew.
While interrogating his own past, his identity unravels
Cut off from reality, he wanders the streets, an independent beat-officer on a one-man patrol.
Listening in on Holloway calls with a phone scanner, he hears voices planning to 'kill the bitch.'
Now his independent patrol has purpose: to prevent a murder.
Following shadowy clues in the killers' slang, he searches for 'the lamb' and 'the broken bridge.'
But each step he takes brings him closer to forces of destruction...
- Manners * is a powerful tale of good and evil, isolation and community themes which interconnect like the crisscross streets of John Manners north London odyssey.
