In 1976 schoolboy Danny Baker lives in Bermondsey, London, with his family, the head of which is mouthy docker Fred, who has a line in selling stolen goods from the docks and trying to fiddle the electricity. Impressed by sister Sharon's boyfriend Colin's dress sense Danny bribes an older boy to lend him his flashy trousers to try for a date with the desirable Amanda but this inadvertently leads to the death of a friend and the loss of the trousers. Long-suffering mother Bet stops Danny from having sex with girlfriend Yvonne but Fred is surprisingly tolerant before Sharon and Colin take Danny to see a stage musical boasting full-frontal nudity - which Danny finds disappointing.

Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office, whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team's most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of university who can piece together the big picture more quickly than anyone.
