In Recognise we learn that James Acaster is in fact an undercover cop. He's infiltrated a gang who are dealing drugs to stand-up comedians and has done so by assuming the identity of a stand-up comedian named James Acaster. The case isn't going well, the captain's breathing down his neck and he's worried he doesn't know who he is anymore.

In Reset we join James at a pivotal moment in his life. After masterminding a very clever scam for ten years and snitching out the rest of his crew, James is about to enter the witness protection program and get what he's always dreamed of – a fresh start. What he wants is to move to Kenya but will he get what he wants?
