DS Jim Broadbent's marriage was over, his long hours and after hours drinking culminated in his long suffering wife June leaving him; then filing for a divorce. His investigative skills and demeanour would be tested when he began to investigate two rapes albeit 18 months apart; they were the same MO making him think he was investigating a serial rapist. His sensitive investigative skills when interviewing victims were put to the test; but with his sympathetic approach and empathy he managed to extract vital information. The forensic scientist had found similar fibres on each victims clothing which confirmed the same offender. Now the hunt began. His affair with Jackie was reaching a crescendo they were both using each other to reach sexual heights neither had encountered before. Then a massive fraud case landed on his desk which Jim didn't need. Jackie's commitment to the job would be tested to the full as Jim used her to test a theory he had......... Then the Cindy case rose again with another ex-pat in Spain wanting to spill the beans on another UK sex ring; the well to do members were abusing children in their own homes and others. The corridors of power would feature again, how high would it go this time?
