Rookie Scotland Yard detective, Nick Shankar commits perjury before a Police Inquiry to cover up corruption and murder to further his own ambition. His first case is the high profile murder of a forbidden and secret ex-lover, Adilaah Khan, daughter of wealthy and politically powerful Islamic leader, Mahmoud Khan - a mentor and father-figure to Nick. Nick discovers that he is a pawn in a deadly conspiracy that involves perverting the course of justice and framing an innocent man to protect family status and honour. As Nick is haunted by the memory of his love for Adilaah, he must choose whether to further his own corrupt ambitions by concealing the truth or redeem his morality by exposing it.
