Don't imagine for one moment that I'm not watching you...The
Metropole Hotel, Brighton. After a heady New Year's Eve
ball, a woman is brutally raped as she returns to her room.
A week later, another woman is attacked. Both victims' shoes
are taken by the offender...Detective Superintendent Roy
Grace soon realises that these new cases bear remarkable
similarities to an unsolved series of crimes in the city
back in 1997. The perpetrator had been dubbed 'Shoe Man' and
was believed to have raped five women before murdering his
sixth victim and vanishing. Could this be a copycat, or has
Shoe Man resurfaced? When more women are assaulted, Grace
becomes increasingly certain that they are dealing with the
same man. And that by delving back into the past - a time in
which we see Grace and his missing wife Sandy still
apparently happy together - he may find the key to unlocking
the current mystery. Soon Grace and his team will find
themselves in a desperate race against the clock to identify
and save the life of the new sixth victim
