Identity Aired From July 05, 2010 - August 09, 2010 On ITV

About the Show:
When you find out where they’ve been, you’ll discover where they’re going…
Identity is a six-part series which follows an elite police unit formed to combat the explosion of identity-related crime.
Keeley Hawes and Aidan Gillen star in writer Ed Whitmore's drama which is here to tackle the darker side of reinvention: murderers who literally take other people’s lives, criminals who create new personas to escape evil pasts, impostors who look, talk and sound just like us but would kill you in a heartbeat.
The unit, lead by DSI Martha Lawson, (Keeley Hawes), works any case where making an identification is a significant part of solving the crime by outsmarting, hunting down and unmasking the modern day Jekyll and Hydes.
Lawson, who founded the organisation, also heads up the team and takes a gamble by hiring John Bloom (Aidan Gillen), the secret weapon of the Identity Unit.
Crucially, Bloom is an ex-undercover cop so he knows first hand what it’s like to pretend to be someone you are not. He’s also only too aware of how easy it is to lose your own identity when you’re living a lie...

The Identity Unit must protect a woman when her true identity as the wife of a convicted child murderer is exposed. DI Bloom abandons the safe house when his lover, Adile, asks for his help, and the woman's son is kidnapped, forcing the Identity Unit to find a way of meeting the ransom demand.
