A dark secret from the past returns to haunt insurance investigator Nick Randall when a biographer claims his late father Eddie Randall - a beloved 1960s comedy star - was involved in a hideous crime.

As Nick sets out to clear his father's name he uncovers a twisted web of insurance fraud connecting his father to ruthless businessman Roger Knight and his psychopathic partner, Kevin Doyle.

But the past isn't just hiding secrets - it's hiding a killer.

When Nick's estranged wife is found dead, and he becomes the prime suspect, Nick's life starts to free-fall. And when other members of his family are targeted, Nick realizes someone is hunting everyone close to him.

With time running out, Nick must confront a deadly enemy he never saw coming before tragedy strikes again.
