Short description

For US agent Greg Squire and a dedicated network of specialist undercover investigators around the world, the mission is clear: track and catch serial paedophiles who operate across the dark web with the same sophistication and secrecy as international organised crime syndicates. Increasingly, these offenders are far younger than the stereotypical image of a paedophile - tech-savvy young adults who exploit digital anonymity with alarming ease.
