However, the two detectives have their work cut out for them. As Martin's character says in the tense teaser trailer: "There are 20 different ways you could kill Vigil's crew single-handed".
The thriller will also star Endeavour actor Shaun Evans and Noughts + Crosses' Paterson Joseph and comes from the same makers as Line of Duty, Bodyguard and The Pembrokeshire Murders.
