'Wall of Silence' tells the true story of Jamie Robe, a London teenager who in 1997 was brutally murdered by a gang of teenage thugs. Despite there being many witnesses to the crime the police encounter a wall of silence from the local community the teenagers have terrorised. However, due to a brave and persistent campaign led by Stuart Robe (the boy's father as played by James Nesbitt) and Tony Cottis (the Detective Inspector in charge of the case) the wall of silence slowly begins to crack.
