French politician Marie Villeneuve is found dead at the Channel Tunnel's midpoint between France and the UK. The body is found to have been cut in half, one half belonging to Welsh prostitute Gemma Kirwan. Karl Roebuck (Dillane) and Elise Wassermann (Poésy), the respective British and French detectives, work together to investigate the killings and soon find a suspect in Charlotte Joubert (Balibar), the wife of French banker Alain (Carrière) who is in hiding. Charlotte insists she made threats against Villeneuve to stop her from badgering her husband. In the UK, Stephen Beaumont (Mawle) runs a hostel for failed asylum seekers and takes in Colombian-born Veronica (Catalina Denis). Tabloid journalist Danny Hillier (Bateman) enters his car to find it rigged with explosives. When the timer reaches zero, however, instead of an explosion, the killer has left a message...
