You step off the tram into the geometries of Bristol — cobbled alleys, broad Georgian façades, and the tang of river salt drifting from the Floating Harbour. The city hums; groups split into two: criminals slipping into crowds, police coordinating on-screen. The clock starts and the chase threads through market arcades, beneath iron bridges, and past graffiti-washed wharves.
