Sugarland: A policeman's life in London's docklands during the 1950s

Police Constable Noah Sheppard is stationed in London's Docklands during the 1950s. His patrol area, from North Woolwich to Silvertown, is sandwiched between the Royal Docks and the giant sugar refinery beside the River Thames. He loves working amongst the cockney community, with its pulsating energy, their close-knit camaraderie and rhyming slang language. A rookie constable reports for duty. As one of the earliest female police officers, WPC Hazel Leggett is a rarity amid the all-male bastion of the police force. Noah is assigned to show her the ropes and they set out on patrol together. It soon becomes apparent that she's more than just a pretty face - she's much tougher than her colleagues assumed. As the months pass, and they're kept busy fighting crime, Noah and Hazel fall hopelessly in love. An organised crime gang, led by the Montana brothers, arrives on the scene, causing mayhem and a spike in the crime rate. Noah and Hazel are in the forefront of the fight to put them out of business and the action accelerates to culminate in a satisfying conclusion.
