When Sian O'Callaghan goes missing after a Friday night out in Swindon Old Town, Detective Superintendent Stephen Fulcher knows that he and his team must move fast to have any chance of finding her alive. While Sian's family desperately wait for news, the police search for any clues as to where she could be.
The hunt for missing Sian O'Callaghan continues as Det. Supt. Steve Fulcher and his team see suspects come and go with no leads to follow. All the while local mum Karen Edwards notices that she lives a few doors away from the missing girl's mother, Elaine Pickford, but is only reminded of her own problems, having not seen her daughter Becky for several years. With things looking bleak for Wiltshire Police, a brilliant piece of police work finally points Fulcher towards a definite suspect.
Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher takes chief suspect Christopher Halliwell to a remote location in the Wiltshire countryside to question him about the whereabouts of missing Swindon girl, Sian O'Callaghan. When Fulcher manages to gain Halliwell's trust, events take a turn that will change the lives of both men forever.
Lives for the residents of Swindon, Wiltshire, have been flipped on their head after the discoveries of two young murdered women by Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher in the local area. And with the second body now formally identified, Steve must break the news to her family.
Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher is lionized in the media for leading an investigation that recovered not one, but two bodies murdered by serial killer Christopher Halliwell. But behind the scenes he is facing a disciplinary hearing at the hands of the IPCC, charged with gross misconduct.
Despite taking her fight all the way to Downing Street, Karen Edwards still struggles to secure a trial for her murdered daughter, Becky, and Steve Fulcher, now out of the force, is only able to find work as a security consultant in African hotspots. But when Wiltshire Police find a way to possibly bring Christopher Halliwell to court for Becky's murder, Fulcher realises that he will have to come face to face with the man who ruined his career.
