Jon had hoped to steer him away from his drug-fuelled, self-destructive fate, but now must face the fact he failed. Full of anger, Jon heads to the town where Dave's body was discovered, bent on finding the killer. Meanwhile, Dave's young girlfriend, Zoe, is trapped in an inner-city hell. Vulnerable, destitute and now alone, she is being hunted by the vicious criminal Dave owed money to. Arriving in the Peak District, Jon finds a community with plenty to hide.
