If You Can't Stand the Heat

Synopsis

This is a raw drama where ego and vanity clash with pure evil. We watch the impact of stress and pressure on Britain's number one detective as he attempts to solve the unsolvable.

Infuriated by the publicity thrust upon Detective Chief Inspector Jeff Heat, a mysterious sociopath, claiming to have murdered hundreds of worthless individuals, reveals himself by e-mail and suggests that the new 'Sherlock Holmes' would be unable to capture him. The sociopath baits Jeff's team of detectives with cryptic clues before commiting a series of callous murders, much to Jeff's frustration. Under pressure from his bosses and depressed by his lack of success in piecing together the clues left behind by the murderer, Jeff makes one last gamble by placing himself in the trap, which backfires with disastrous consequences.

This is an enthralling drama which demonstrates that evil very often triumphs over good.

White Van Man White Van Man

Director: Thomas Heron

Year: 2008

Despite having excellent witness descriptions of possible suspects, vain and uncompromising police detective Fred Andrews becomes increasingly frustrated by his lack of success into a traumatic series of missing persons investigations. <br />  <br /> Fearful that he is replicating the errors of a previously botched-up police investigation, narcisistic Andrews deduces that a mysterious white van is the key to unwinding this growing police debacle, and more importantly the platform for his own meteoric rise throught the ranks. As the number of abductions increase, key suspects are progressively eliminated, egos clash and tempers fray until the self-centred detective eventually zeros in on his nemesis. In the final confrontation, Andrews realises that capturing the psychotic killer will almost certainly rocket his career, but it will fail miserably, to bring true justice to the missing souls.
