Due North is a programme presented in the form of a single episode. It falls within the genre of a scripted drama, offering viewers a self‑contained story that unfolds over the course of its runtime. The episode follows the conventions of an investigative narrative while also incorporating elements of rescue and personal loss. The plot centres on Rex, who turns to Detective Sidney Scott for assistance. He needs Sidney’s help to locate and aid his friends, who are both stranded and suffering injuries. Rex’s appeal sets the stage for a rescue mission that drives the immediate action of the episode. At the same time, Sidney is closing in on the facts surrounding a recent murder. Her investigation also brings her nearer to understanding the circumstances of her own husband’s death. These parallel threads see Sidney juggling the urgency of the rescue with the pursuit of answers to the violent crimes that have touched her life. Both storylines intersect as Sidney balances the responsibility of saving Rex’s friends with the personal quest for truth. The episode therefore weaves together the external danger faced by the stranded group and the internal drive of the detective to resolve the lingering mysteries that have haunted her.
