Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren) is back on duty, transferred from Southampton Row to the Soho Vice Squad.

A young boy-for-hire dies in a fire at the home of transsexual cabaret artiste, Vera, and Jane must again wade through a sea of office politics, discrimination and corruption before she can crack the case.
