DES is a true-crime drama focusing on one of the most infamous criminal cases in UK history - DENNIS NILSEN. Known as the 'kindly killer', Nilsen (David Tennant, Good Omens, Broadchurch) was a local civil servant who spent five years murdering boys and young men he met on the streets of London's Soho from 1978 to 1983. He would meet and befriend these men before offering them food or lodgings for the evening back at his North London flat.
