He is determined to mete out his own kind of justice to the killer and make him pay the ultimate price. DS Bill Murphy teams up with newcomer, DC Louise Walker in the murder investigation. But Murphy's past comes back to haunt him, and he is heading for a breakdown, which means it is up to Louise to catch the killer. Who will find the killer first? Tony or the police.
