In the seventies, Bob Trebor joined the police and became the youngest Detective Inspector in the country.

When a plain clothes police officer is badly assaulted, this sets off a chain of reaction, ending in a tragic death and multiple allegations of widespread corruption. Will Internal Investigations win the day or will Bob defeat one last 'bad guy'?

Bob Trebor joined the police in the seventies, showcasing a remarkable talent for apprehending criminals. When a vacancy emerged in the CID, he eagerly seized the opportunity. At the young age of twenty-nine, he holds the distinction of being the youngest Detective Inspector in the country, and he envisions a remarkable future for his squad.

His journey unfolds through his unique approach to recruiting members and his unwavering philosophy. Despite inheriting a group of individuals who had a history of petty crimes such as pickpocketing and knife-point robbery, he recognized the need for regular culling to maintain public safety. While the means employed to achieve these ends may be questionable, those in positions of power and authority seem content with the status quo.

What sets this squad apart from previous ones assigned the same task is their dedication to apprehending villains without engaging in financial corruption or taking bribes, commonly referred to as "taxing" and "giving a life to the criminal." However, when a plainclothes police officer is severely assaulted, it triggers a series of events that culminate in a tragic death and widespread allegations of corruption. With Internal Investigations sniffing around and the criminal fraternity seeking revenge, the squad is on the brink of collapse.

It appears that Bob's philosophy may be flawed, leaving the question of who will ultimately prevail: Internal Investigations or Bob in his quest to defeat the last "bad guy." The outcome remains uncertain, as the stakes are high, and the consequences are potentially devastating.
