When a blind woman is found murdered in her home, Detective Inspector Briscombe is called in to investigate.

He soon discovers that, beneath the facade of a close-knit family and friendship group, all is not as it appears. When it seems that everyone had a motive for Harriet Harding's murder, can he unravel the threads to track down her killer? He thinks he's on the right track until a second murder derails the investigation. Now it's a race against time to unravel the secrets before the killer strikes again.

Finn Abara has just been released from prison after serving his sentence for causing the accident that blinded Harriet and killed her husband. He knows he's the police's number one suspect and unless he can prove his innocence, he'll be back in prison and this time they'll throw away the key. He determines to stay out of trouble but his old associates have different ideas, and when they threaten to harm his young sister, he's forced into making some tough choices.

Meanwhile, DI Harry Briscombe's private life explodes, when the secret behind an anonymous funeral notification is revealed.
