When her boss offers her a full time job she is elated. That is, until she gets her first story to investigate. Rachel finds herself in danger right from the start, as she tries to report on a human trafficking story, which has deep and devastating consequences for women brought to England under false pretences. She is frightened, yet determined to find out who is running the trafficking ring. She soon finds out, there are some pretty shady characters involved, in this cesspit underworld. In the course of her reporting she meets Caroline, a police woman who has many years' experience. She and Caroline begin a relationship, or so Rachel thought.

It's fast moving story of love, romance and crime.
