What Season 3 of The Fall
Superintendent Stella Gibson travels from London to Belfast to review a stalled investigation into the murder of a young architect. The local detectives have no clear direction, so she must assess their progress. It soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting young professional women in the city. Gibson and the Police Service of Northern Ireland must catch Paul Spector before he strikes again. At trial, the defense questions whether their client can remain in court. Katie, who faces a court hearing for violating the terms of her bail, and Rose, who confesses a secret to Gibson, are other key pieces of the plot.
