The Offence background

The Offence

A disillusioned British police detective reaches a breaking point during an intense questioning session with a suspected pedophile.

Detective Sergeant Johnson, a 12-year veteran of the police force, is haunted by the gruesome crimes he's investigated, including murders, rapes, and felonies. His pent-up anger and rage boil over during an interview with Baxter, a suspect in a series of brutal attacks on young girls, as he viciously beats him.
