With nothing else to lose, Detective Dave Burrows volunteers for the most dangerous mission of his life. When Dave joined the force he couldn’t have foreseen the toll it would take on family life. Dave’s wife, Melinda, is unhappy about being left alone so much to raise their 18-month-old daughter, Bec. His interfering father-in-law isn’t helping. He never thought he was good enough for his daughter and is not shy about telling Dave what he's doing wrong.

When things come to a head at home, Dave's policing mate, Spencer, comes up with a plan. In a bid to search for the link between a murdered man and illegal stock trading Dave must put himself on the wrong side of the law.

Dave knows what he's risking. If he's found out, he'll never see Melinda or Bec again. Far from saving his marriage, he could lose it all.
