Saviour introduces us to a well-brought up medical student, Ben, who goes to a fancy-dress party, dressed in a police uniform. Ben only has eyes for Xenia, and when he sees her being attacked by a man on his way home, he has no choice but to intervene, urged on by a bystander innocently assuming he was a real police officer. When things go awry, he makes a desperate call to his dad, who tells Ben exactly what to do next.Running parallel with Ben's story, we're introduced to Indy, a criminal barrister. Admired by all who work alongside her, Indy is going places as all her hard work, evening classes and dedication to her profession is beginning to pay off. When she meets a terrified Ben in a police cell, facing a charge of murder, she will have to navigate a world of police corruption, fervent press interest and a defendant who is keeping secrets from her.Throughout the drama we are left asking the question – how far are you prepared to go to protect the ones you love?
