DS Anthony Boyce
Oxbridge graduate. Naturally gifted and hard working. Boyce is inexperienced, but desperate to be given the chance to prove his worth.
Boyce feels overlooked in the station, and frustrated by what he believes is his wasted potential.
He has the characteristics of an excellent Detective, but with his masculinity and ability called into question every day by John, and his constant fraught anxiety in trying to be liked by his idol, Boyce begins sacrificing the very things that could make him great in order to rise in the ranks.
His wedding is looming, but as Boyce's blind awe of John begins to threaten what is left of his personal life, will he manage to carve out his own identity, and avoid repeating the mistakes of his mentor?
