In the early hours of Saturday morning, a woman calls 999 – she’s been attacked and raped by a stranger in a public phone box in Birmingham. Police and forensic teams race to identify the attacker before he can strike again.

While the victim is taken to hospital, a detailed examination of the phone box for evidence proves challenging, as it's contaminated with the fingerprints of so many members of the public. While detectives explore CCTV footage and a cluster of fingerprints, it's DNA evidence that may prove crucial.
