The BBC is producing a two-part crime drama starring Louise Lombard (CSI), Lyndsey Marshal (Rome) and Danny Dyer (Human Traffic).
It will be an in-house BBC Drama production and has the working title Blood Rush.
The writer is Barbara Machin, whose story will be told from the point of view of different characters. It will also move backward and forward in time.
Machin said: "There's always more than one perspective to a crime. In fact, every point of view tells a different story.
"So this approach allows viewers to get under the skin of all our characters – to be right at the heart of the action and see the story from the most compelling and exciting perspective at any given time.
"And each time you think you finally understand the truth, hopefully immediately afterwards we will take you somewhere new."
The story sees a former killer kidnap another victim and looks at relationships within the police investigating team and with the attacker and victim.
BBC head of drama Northern Ireland Patrick Spence said: "I wake up every day yearning for a script as good as this. No wonder we could attract such an attractive, classy cast, with so much to play for."
Blood Rush is produced by Jane Steventon, directed by Paul Unwin and executive produced by Spence. It is currently filming on location in Bristol.
It was commissioned by BBC controller of fiction Jane Tranter.
