Simon Serrailler finds himself in a devastating new territory as a sophisticated drugs network sets its sights on Lafferton and the surrounding villages. DCS Simon Serrailler has long regarded drugs operations in the Lafferton area as a waste of time. Small-time dealers are picked up outside the local secondary school, they are given a fine or a suspended sentence, and away they go. And rinse and repeat. But when the body of a young drug addict is found in neighboring Starly, the case pulls Simon into a whole new way of running drugs. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local kids like Brookie and Olivia, who will give Simon a bitter taste of this new landscape.

It is a harsh winter at home as well as work. Simon's GP sister Cat and her husband Kieron are struggling with medical dramas big and small. A trip to Bevham General on her rounds sets off alarm bells for Dr. Cat, and a visit from her son Sam, as he tries to work out if his midwifery course is right for him, coincides with a threat to their beloved family dog. Simon is working hard, but he is restless, wondering what next. There is nothing new going on for him in Lafferton, but sometimes the familiar holds surprises, too.
