L'action se déroule dans l'aile G de la prison pour femmes de Larkhall. Nous suivons le quotidien des condamnées mais aussi celui des membres du personnel. La série met en lumière les difficultés que représente la vie dans une prison pour femmes, autant au niveau pratique qu'humain. Elle n'hésite pas à aborder un certain nombre de thèmes polémiques comme par exemple le fait que les autorités britanniques continuent d'utiliser des gardiens de sexe masculin dans les ailes féminines ou bien les traumatismes liés à la séparation des détenues d'avec leurs enfants pourtant parfois nés en prison pendant le temps de leur incarcération. Les conflits entre les détenues et les gardiens sont le quotidien de Larkhall et les directeurs qui se succèdent doivent gérer aussi bien les dérapages des gardiens que les humeurs des détenues. Les conflits liés aux abus de pouvoir exercés sur les détenues ou entre les membres du personnel perturbent régulièrement la gestion de la prison.

The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries is a British detective television series adapted from nine of the Roderick Alleyn novels by Ngaio Marsh. It originally aired between 1990 and 1994. In the pilot episode Detective Inspector Alleyn was played by Simon Williams. William Simons played Alleyn's righthand man and "Watson" figure, Detective Sergeant Fox, and Belinda Lang starred as the painter Agatha Troy, Alleyn's love interest. Williams was unavailable when the first series was made, so whilst Simons and Lang reprised their original roles, the lead character was henceforth played by Patrick Malahide. The BBC made nine episodes in all, each based on a separate novel. The eight episodes featuring Malahide are available on DVD in the USA and UK. An Australian set has all nine episodes.
