Relations are strained between Ludlow and Brazil after Ludlow discovers who spilled the beans on his affair. They find themselves in further trouble when the suspect they've just arrested collapses of a heart attack. Members of a hostile and divided community seem intent on blaming each other when a prominent human rights lawyer is shot and her body moved from the scene of the crime.

A murder inquiry is close to the officers at Brazen Gate CID; tempers fray as they search for Drinkall's killer. The discovery of an old tape of a suspect being interviewed provides a means for the team to come to terms with their loss.
