What is Traces about?

Traces follows lab assistant Emma Hedges who returns to her childhood home of Dundee to start a new job at SIFA, but becomes tangled up in case involving her dead mother.

Whilst studying an online introductory course in forensic science, Emma realises there’s something striking about the fictitious case study she’s working on, as it bears a resemblance to her own mum's unsolved murder.

When she starts a relationship with Daniel, she doesn’t know that his company might be somehow involved in the case her boss at SIFA has been helping the police to investigate. 

The whole show sees Emma trying to bring a killer to justice.

This gripping series brings with it a star cast - which you can find out more about here.

When is Traces next on TV?

You can catch the next and final episode TONIGHT (January 18, 2021).

It is on at 9pm on BBC One.
