Stephen Nolan is a hard working, honest cop. Only one problem, he never gets the credit he deserves, nor does he ever get the girl. One night he finally makes a genuine connection with someone, and for a moment, there is a promise of a better life ahead. This is short lived, as she turns up brutally murdered the next day. Again those above Nolan want to swoop in and lead the high profile case. Not this time. Nolan conducts his own investigation under their noses, and it goes much deeper and darker than he had ever imagined.......
