When a teenager is found dead at the foot of a tower, Det Sgt Davey Higgins believes it was a tragic suicide, but coroner Jane Kennedy thinks there is more to the case than meets the eye.

When a body washes up on the shore, Jane is convinced it's a botched sea burial, but Davey believes otherwise. With a steak at stake, both are determined to prove each other wrong.

A popular local businessman is shot dead by a sniper in public; Davey is forced to watch as an officer from the Metropolitan Police takes over his investigation, and then makes a move on Jane.
