[edit] Synopsis

The killer has killed once and kidnapped another victim, challenging the team to work out why. Suddenly everyone's past comes under scrutiny, and everyone's version of the truth comes under suspicion. Following the death of her child, Kay Rousseau (Lombard) returns to work to head up the crime team. Suspicion about her involvement in this death, however, remains – not least from her own husband. Only Matt Costello (Dyer), Kay's second-in-command and a dedicated, impassioned copper, is loyal to the core. Dr George Austen (Marshall), is the team's forensic scientist and worked on Kay's case. She knows things Kay wished she didn't, and this isn't helped by her own fast spiralling addiction to alcohol – which puts her evidential work under unwelcome scrutiny.^[1]
