Gerry Cliff (Richard Dormer) returns to deliver a bombshell revelation, while a tide of anti-immigration violence render Grace Ellis (Siân Brooke), Tommy Foster (Nathan Braniff), and Annie Conlon (Katherine Devlin) beyond disillusioned in what's shaping up to be a characteristically pulsating fourth season of Blue Lights.
They've passed probation, but with the section shorthanded in the midst of a swathe of riots, nobody at Blackthorn Station is in celebratory mood. And in the wake of a vicious targeted attack, Grace, Tommy and Annie are forced to confront their methods.
Tommy and Shane's Frank Blake investigation into Dana Morgan's drug operation and links to Tina McIntyre hits the skids, just as Gerry’s murder trial gets underway, ramping up the strain on everybody, Mo McIntyre (Michael Shea) in particular.
Sandra (Andi Osho), meanwhile, realizes she's been sitting on a secret that could have major repercussions within both the police force and the upper echelons of the criminal underworld.
