As Grace's team recovers from the distressing events of the past few days, they are called to the scene of an awful car accident when a local hotelier, Bryson Lambert, ishuged by an oncoming driver who cruelly flees the site of crash, leaving him to die. As Roy searches for the other driver involved, an unexpected discovery soon pulls his investigation in a shocking new direction and Grace now realises that Bryson's passing was just the tip of the iceberg, when he suddenly has a much bigger puzzle on his hands, which may prove to be one of his most complex cases yet. What Grace must uncover is a dark criminal underworld with a disturbing truth and a twisted perpetrator at the heart of it all. Roy's team is on the trail, but with every discovery, a new layer to the mystery unfolds.
