A Maverick Irish cop takes on the London crime world
James Nesbitt stars in this DVD set Murphy’s Law. He is an uncompromising, sometimes tough talking cop. He has no problem using his irresistible charm and his sense of humor to impress any woman, especially one named Annie who is his colleague and later becomes his boss.
Murphy used to be married and he had a young daughter in Northern Ireland. His wife and daughter were taken hostage by the IRA and Murphy was forced to make a choice. He was to either carry a bomb and blow himself up in a local barracks or his daughter would be killed. Of course he chose the first option but when he got to the barracks he couldn’t go through with it knowing he would be killing two hundred people if he did.
When he worked his way back to his home where his wife and child were being held he found that the IRA had slit his daughter’s throat and they made his wife watch them do it. Now Murphy feels that even though in the process he saved many lives and received a medal for it he feels responsible for the death of his daughter.
Feeling he has nothing to lose Detective Tommy Murphy goes to London to work undercover for the Metropolitan Police. The hardheaded, hard-drinking, brash and brooding Murphy is down on his luck but he still has his old Irish charm, flashing quick wit and a roguish grin.
He accepts the most dangerous assignments and ends up in London’s criminal underside surrounded by drugs, blackmail and murder. He is assisted by DI Annie Guthrie (played by Claudia Harrison) who is his sexy savvy boss.
