Starring Richard Armitage and Michelle Keegan, the new thriller follows Maya Stern, a former soldier trying to recover from the brutal murder of her husband Joe. One day, when she had installed a spy camera to monitor her young daughter, she was astonished to find that a man she knew had broken into her house: her husband, whom she thought was dead… Sami Kierce, the police officer leading the investigation, tries to find out the truth about Joe's death, while Abby and Daniel, Maya's niece and nephew, lead the investigation into her mother's murder several months earlier.
Double trap: Who is behind the death of Joe Stern?
In the eighth and final episode of the miniseries We learn that it was actually Maya who killed her husband Joe. Through flashbacks, we learn that Maya suspected her husband of being behind the murder of her sister Claire. Before her death, she had tracked down Corey, a whistleblower who leaked footage of Maya killing civilians in combat, resulting in her losing her job. Claire wanted to help her sister by negotiating with Corey to stop the publication of these devastating images. In return, she agreed to help him with his investigation into Joe's family. When he found out what Claire was doing, he simply killed her in his house. Maya knew Joe had access to her gun, so she secretly asked her military police friend to test the gun to see if it was the gun that killed her sister. When Shane confirmed his theory, Maya no longer had any doubt: Joe was the one behind Claire's murder. When he confronted her husband, he grabbed a gun and tried to pull the trigger. Fearing for her own life, Maya had no choice but to shoot her husband, killing him with a bullet to the chest..
