Shetland season eight kicked off with the police team having to deal with a crime that extends all the way to London, where a snitch gets killed by Cassidy’s goons. There’s a witness and it is up to Detective Inspector Ruth Calder to follow the lead. As she picks and searches through dead leads, she finds that there’s a drug smuggling ring hidden in a sheep farm. Then, Calder starts hounding on the two killers that popped the snitch.
Then, we see how Ruth investigates another murder in relation to the incident she initially investigated, and the more she digs, the more bodies she finds. Now it is up to her and her team to try and solve these murders and bring the culprits to justice in what promises to be a thrilling season in which the bad guys try to dupe the cops, the witnesses are too afraid to talk, and the police team must scramble and use their investigative skills as well as street wits to see if they can put some calm in the now troubled streets of the Shetland Islands.
