Jodie has finally managed to move on from her violent husband, Jack, and is forming new relationships and establishing her own business. With CJ, her son, she has a new home--the whereabouts of which are unknown to Jack--and the prospect of a normal life. Jack, however, feels differently. He is the victim and he wants Jodie back to play the part of the dutiful wife with her life centred around his needs and desires. He is prepared to go to any length to find her and get her back under his control. But not only is he frustrated by Barry, who was involved in getting Jodie away, he is also up against forces beyond his understanding. CJ's best friends, Thomas and Kelly--killed in a hit and run incident--are still not at peace. They establish contact with CJ and a medium, Mable, and are instrumental in trying to thwart Jack.
