Harry Stewart is assigned the case of Nigel Flynn’s (Harry Stewart’s mentor) murder and, consequently, Flynn’s wife Lily’s kidnapping. This gets him into the previous case which is to do with a criminal drug baron. Harry believes he has to get Lily back as he feels he has a duty to Nigel’s memory.
Whilst investigating the murder through interviews and CCTV etc the forensics of the body come back. They don’t match with Nigel’s dental records. Harry orders second tests but these only confirm that the body isn’t Nigel’s. Shocked by the news and Nigel’s disappearance, Harry begins to investigate the possibility that both Nigel and Lily have been kidnapped.
Later a ransom note is dropped off at the station, stained with blood. Harry decides to trace the person who left it through CCTV. Following the person’s movements, he is led to a derelict building and he enters alone but armed. As soon as he enters he is shot at. He engages in a shoot-off with the attacker who he can’t indentify, so he tries to get closer. Eventually, he finds out that the attacker is Nigel, who reveals that him and his wife were never kidnapped. They instead just wanted the ransom money and then leave the country. Nigel shoots at Harry but misses, however when Harry returns fire, he kills Nigel. Harry stands over his dead mentor’s body as police sirens are heard in the background and a team of police enter the building.
