Coming from the creators of Aussie crime drama sensation "Underbelly", this new cop show sees Holly start to unravel a web of crime that points at a deep conspiracy within the force. Pregnant mother Sonia Matthews' death may have looked like a gangland hit gone wrong, but there are those inside the police with their own motives for wanting her dead.
Add to this a marriage in crisis, a life changing secret and an overbearing ex-Detective father, and Holly’s investigation becomes anything but routine. She’ll have to rely on her team of fellow officers (played by Stephen Peacocke and Rob Collins) if she’s any hope of preventing an implosion that threatens her family, her career and justice itself.

What can new viewers expect from 'Human Error'?
The official synopsis from Channel 9 reads: "Inspired by real events, the series unveils the turbulent life of Detective Holly O'Rourke (Leeanna Walsman) and her homicide team as they navigate a shocking murder investigation that threatens to destroy her career, her family and her faith in justice."
Is 'Human Error' based on a true story?
While the promotional material form the show touted it as "being inspired by true events", the creators have been tight lipped over what those events are. However, fans have speculated that it could be the murder of Jane Thurgood-Dove in Victoria in 1997.
34-year-old Thurgood-Dove had just arrived back at her suburban home when she was gunned down in front of her three children in her driveway by a gunman in a stolen car. Police still believe she was a victim of mistaken identity and not the intended target. The case remains unsolved.
