What is Witness Number 3 about?
The official synopsis reads: "It’s business as usual for Jodie, a single mum who runs her own hairdressing salon, until she glances out of the window and catches a glimpse of an altercation between two men, but unbeknownst to her one of the men is about to be murdered. In that seemingly innocuous split second, Jodie’s life is turned upside down… forever.

"When the police make an appeal, Jodie decides to come forward, believing her information to be of little consequence. But she quickly learns that she’s the prosecution’s key witness, known only as Witness Number 3 to protect her identity, and is assigned protection from P.C. Ivan Barkas (Young). When the murderer – a key player in a local gang – realises that Jodie’s evidence could put him behind bars, a terrifying campaign of intimidation to silence her unfolds and escalates with dramatic consequences."
