Spring, 1950. The city of Bristol is broken. The physical and emotional scars of World War Two are slow to heal.
Good people are struggling to get by, while an organised criminal underclass is thriving.

The family’s only son, Harry, has disappeared. In a bedsit, Grover finds the body of a young man with his throat cut.
