When eleven-year-old schoolboy Rhys Jones is brutally shot dead walking home from soccer practice, Detective Superintendent Dave Kelly is charged with bringing his teenage killer to justice.

As Rhys Jones is laid to rest, a police raid at the home of Kevin Moody leads to the recovery of the gun used in his murder. Moody must choose between being labelled a “grass” and risking retribution, or speaking the truth to clear his name.

When potential witness Claire Olssen (Faye McKeever) is intimidated into changing her statement, the investigation team look for alternative ways to reinforce their case.

Mercer and his associates are tried for their roles in Rhys’s murder. An unexpected setback leaves Kelly with a tough decision to make.
