S1, E1: Muslim detective, Zane Malik, is fighting crime in a post 9-11 world. A police officer is killed, apparently by two armed robbers of middle Eastern appearance. Zane Malik uses his connections in the Arab community to track down the two youths involved. His search for the truth brings Malik into a head on clash with Senior Detective, Ray Crowley. Crowley accuses him of putting his community before his job. Malik is angry. He wants justice for the police officer too, but he knows what it is to be an Australian Arab, and feel unsupported by the law. When he was a boy his father was shot by an armed robber; the shooter was never brought to justice. But will Malik be able to find out the truth behind the officers death before war erupts on the streets of Lakemba?
