The series is based on the true story of a double murder which took place in Nottingham in 2004. The synopsis explains: "As suspicion and antipathy build, between lifelong neighbours and towards the police forces who descend on the town, the tragic killings threaten to inflame historic divisions sparked during the Miners' Strike three decades before."

It's also been reported that filming took place in more than one location due to some setbacks caused by the pandemic. Other areas included Manchester, Bolton, Blackpool and Yorkshire.
Meanwhile, actress Joanne Froggatt, who portrays the character Sarah Vincent, opened up about her personal connection to the show thanks to her growing up in the north of England.

"I didn't fully understand [the miners' strike], because I think I was three or four, but it was a part of my childhood," she told the BBC.
"When I was older, we learnt about it in school, and I learnt about it from family as well who taught me how divisive that time was in the UK. It was interesting to look back and revisit that as an adult, to see it with new eyes and gather a better understanding of the politics behind it."
