Virdee is a new crime series based on AA Dhand's best-selling novels. It introduces Detective Harry Virdee (Sacha Dhawan), a police officer from Bradford who is disowned by his Sikh family for marrying Saima, a Muslim woman. Harry struggles with the abandonment and constantly attempts to reconnect with his family. With his personal life in chaos, he must hunt down a killer targeting the Asian community.
When the murderer kidnaps a local MP's daughter in Bradford and holds the city hostage, Harry realizes that he needs the help of his brother-in-law Riaz, a drug kingpin who runs the largest cartel in the county. They form an alliance that could ruin them both, but Harry must make a choice: save himself and his family or save his city. He cannot do both.
