When Dorothy Moxley is found brutally murdered, evidence discovered at the scene links the murder to a 20-year-old unsolved crime. Detectives and old flames Molly McGee and Alex O’Connell are brought together after a long absence to solve the crime. Meanwhile, Molly’s obsession with a wealthy businessman, Gareth McAvaney, whom she believes was responsible for a friend’s death, diverts her attention away from those closest to her.
