כאשר דני לטימר בן ה-11 נעלם, אמו מתחילה לחפש אחריו בדאגה, בעוד חברתה הטובה, השוטרת המקומית אלי מילר, מגיעה לעבודה רק כדי לגלות שהקידום שהאמינה כי תשיג נחת בידיו של אלק הארדי, שוטר חיצוני עם מוניטין שלילי. שני החוקרים נחושים לפתור את התעלומה, ובעוד אלי עלולה להיות רגישה מדי לאנשי הקהילה שלה, אלק אפקטיבי כמו שהוא בוטה. כאשר החדשות על האירוע מתפשטות בעיר, נפתחת שורת אירועים שתשים את העיירה מתחת לזרקור התקשורתי, ותגרור מטה את העיירה, תושביה וסודותיה, בעוד כולם הופכים לחשודים.

Hot metal is a London Weekend Television sitcom about the British Newspaper industry broadcast between 1986 and 1988.
The daily crucible, the dullest newspaper in Fleet Street, is suddenly taken over by media magnate Terence "Twiggy" Rathbone. Its editor Harry Stringer is 'promoted' to managing editor, and is replaced in his old job by Russell Spam. Spam then takes the paper shooting downmarket and turns the crucible into a sensation seeking scandal rag, very much in the style of the British tabloids of the 1980s. He is helped along by his ace gutter journalist, Greg Kettle, who intimidates his tabloid victims by claiming to be "a representative of Her Majesty's press" and produces stories such as accusing a vicar of being a werewolf. Throughout the first series, a running plot involved cub reporter Bill Tytla gradually uncovering an actual newsworthy story that went to the very heart of government.
