When Detective Sergeant Bec Harpin answers a call for help from her friend, barrister Carolyn Moorhouse, she suddenly finds herself on the wrong side of an investigation that threatens to derail her career. Not only does Bec have to decide how far she’ll go for a friend, but she also must decide if her friend is guilty of a crime.

On the same night, a body is discovered bound and gagged in a small unit in suburban Melbourne, and Bec and her team are faced with two separate investigations. The situation is complicated by startling revelations from the dead woman’s neighbour, actor Nikki Cardone, a woman seeking her own justice from wrongdoing. But is Nikki the grieving actor she seems, or is she one of the perpetrators?

While Bec closes in on answers, and Nikki races against time to clear her name, the two women must find their separate ways to the truth.
