Viaplay’s reboot follows 40-year-old Inspector John Rebus at a psychological crossroads following an altercation with an infamous Edinburgh gangster. At odds with a job increasingly driven by technocrats, involved in a toxic affair he knows he needs to end, and all but supplanted in his daughter’s life by his ex-wife’s wealthy new husband, Rebus begins to wonder if he still has a role to play – either as a family man or a police officer.

该片由布莱恩·威尔许(英剧《逃脱大师》)自编自导，故事背景设置在上世纪90年代中期苏格兰的一座小镇，时值“锐舞”文化席卷全英，两个个性迥异的好友度过了一个令他们终身难忘的“锐舞”派对。
