\n The second series switched things up, giving a more prominent role to DI Kirsten Longacre (Leslie) and focusing on a death related to drone warfare technology.\n<\/p>\n
\n Now the third series will see the duo at a remote Arctic research station, where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been murdered.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pair must solve the case while navigating rising international tensions over control of the Arctic and its resources.\n<\/p>\n
\n A synopsis adds: “Amy and Kirsten will need to catch the killer and defuse a potential international confrontation, as different nations compete for control of the Arctic and its resources in the changing polar climate, with both their careers and relationship on the line.\n<\/p>\n
\n “As the mission rapidly unfolds, Amy and Kirsten begin to question who they can trust.\n<\/p>\n
\n Discussing where her character is at at the start of series three, Jones shared: “All of the Vigil series are about fighting for truth, coming up against the bigger picture and wanting the world to be a better place, so that really attracted me.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Each series also brings new challenges with Amy not knowing her surroundings – she\u2019s constantly put into these new worlds, with new rules and new characters and so she\u2019s always trying to figure out where her authority is in that.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I also think Amy and Kirsten are kept in the dark with what they\u2019re being told and it\u2019s their job to find the gaps and piece it together.”\n<\/p>\n
