When Frank Chapman, the well-known head of a local crime syndicate, is gunned down outside a Birmingham hospital, the working theory is a tit-for-tat turf war. But that doesn't explain the body found next to him, and it isn't long before DI Ray (Parminder Nagra) suspects she's digging deeper than her superiors would like.

Megan Parks, the young nurse found next to Chapman, would appear to be collateral damage, though Ray finds it all a little bit too neat, and she's not the only one. But with violent retribution a certainty and racial tensions between the rival Chapman and Mochani families exacerbating matters, Ray knows that inaction could unleash something far worse.

She mustn't expose her hand too eagerly, but shady connections suggest big money has been in play all along, hiding in plain sight. Here's how to watch DI Ray season 2 online from anywhere in the world and for free in the UK and Australia.
