Written by Stephen Volk
The very near future. Violent sex offender Carl Gatliss is put on parole with a "modern version of the ankle tagging" - a camera embedded in his retina so that his probation officer, Esther, can watch his every move from Gatliss's own point of view. At first he takes delight in his new freedom: and the fact that Esther is observing even his most private moments, as a kind of legalized Peeping Tom. But judicial surveillance becomes voyeurism as her professionalism distorts and she becomes as obsessed by him as he is with her.
