When a man knocks on his door desperate for help, claiming someone is trying to kill him, ex Met detective Eden Driscoll leaps at the chance to solve a mystery. But before he can ask more questions, the stranger disappears.

His cry for help came too late – that same night a house along the coast is burnt to the ground. Fire officers discover a man’s remains among the rubble.

After a monotonous summer caring for his nine-year-old nephew, Eden is itching to investigate. Working with local police, he uncovers a web of deception, jealousy, and corruption.
