When married woman, Anna Pyne, is violently abducted from home, Family Liaison Officer DC Jackie Hartwell is tasked to support her husband, Martin - brother of West Midlands drug lord, Jimmy Pyne.

Jackie tries to discover if the kidnapping could be related to Jimmy's criminal activities. Is Martin the respectable businessman he makes himself out to be? Has he really had nothing to do with his criminal brother?

When an unexpected twist during the ransom drop makes it clear Martin's withholding vital information, Jackie has to work hard to get him to reveal everything he knows - and she soon finds herself uncovering a heartbreaking story of murder, betrayal and revenge.

Episode 4 (of 5)
Anna Pyne is still being held by kidnappers who are implying that her husband, Martin, has been bribing police officers. Why are they making this claim when Martin insists he's a respectable, law-abiding businessman who's never had anything to do with his brother's criminal activities? Family Liaison Officer, Jackie Hartwell, has to make Martin realise that, if that he's to have any chance of getting his wife back alive, then he's going to have to tell her the truth.
