Episode 1
While working in a busy NHS hospital, nurse Tracy Pickford gets a better job in a private fertility clinic. The Jenner Clinic is out in the country, very quiet and far away from the bustle of the city. All seems normal, but for the off-limits section where they keep test animals, and the nightshift Tracy is assigned to would be boring except for mysterious activities centring on those out of bounds laboratories.
Episode 2
On his arrival in the sleepy Yorkshire town nearest the Jenner Clinic, the fiendish Government official, Hennessey, orders all police out of the area, and calls up an army of khaki-clad 'specialists' who throw a security web around the site. Highly placed and powerful, Hennessey conducts a cover-up; mutilated victims disappear en route to the mortuary; the press are officially gagged by a 'D' notice; and the regular police's mass-murder inquiry is abruptly cancelled without any explanation to the detective in charge.
Episode 3
Peter Carson's subversive investigation uncovers Dr Jenner's dark past, including details of the probably illegal, certainly unethical genetic engineering experiment, he initiated a decade ago.
Episode 4
"It's not over yet," vows Carson. But later, in a post office sorting room, we see Hennessey confiscate copies of an incriminating video that had been mailed to the press.
