A seasoned policeman still grieving for his wife after 20 years, who cannot see that there is life after bereavement, if only he would look. His pathologist son returns to his hometown, but is struggling with demons of his own, and trying desperately to control his famously volatile temper, whilst vowing to never get involved with anyone again. They join forces to solve a serious assault, which in turn triggers murder, kidnap, and a series of events that would bring their past back to haunt them, putting them both in danger and leaving one of them fighting for his life, with an outcome that would change both of their lives forever.
