Her son has been murdered during a burglary and Cordin must find the killers as quickly as possible. The only scrap of evidence is a piece of paper linking back to Caswell.

Cordin enlists the help of old friend and cop Daniel Hartfield (Michael Sirow) and local bar owner Billy Burns (James McCaffrey) to discover if the perpetrators are at large in his hometown.

In the process, he uncovers dark secrets that jeopardise his position in Hilliard.
