Crimewaves By Dave Simpson & Diane Whitley. BBC RADIO DRAMA

A six-part radio drama about a group of Manchester teens fighting for justice.

When their friend Keith Brandon is charged with murdering a policeman, Gemma, Liam and Andy decide to bunk off school and go to his trial. Although Keith had a knife, a motive and has confessed to the crime, they're sure he didn't do it - so when he's found guilty, they can't believe it.

Determined to prove Keith's innocence, they take their story to the local media, but no-one will take them seriously. Then Gemma comes up with an unorthodox way of appealing for new evidence: setting up their own pirate radio station...

But someone's trying to warn them off. First they receive a letter telling them to 'stop looking', then Andy's mum - a police officer - is suspended from the force. Unafraid, they keep broadcasting - only to uncover sinister surprises and dangerous secrets.

Can they find out the truth about PC Johnson's death, before they're shut down for good?
