Second Sight follows Detective Chief Inspector Ross Tanner (Clive Owen), a maverick cop who finds out that he has a rare disease which is causing him to go blind. Tanner's boss, Superintendent Lawson (Thomas Wheatley), little suspects that the man he named to head the elite Specialist Elite Murder Unit is losing his sight. Tanner struggles keep his condition a secret, but soon asks himself – how long can he keep solving crimes that not even the fully sighted can fathom?, whilst battling with his irrepressible Inspector Catherine Tully (Claire Skinner), who urges him to tell the truth for the sake of his own health – but will doing so ruin his career?
