Jodie Keane tracks down hard nosed ex-undercover cop down Lawless working as a bouncer in a seedy bar and persuades him to help her on a case. Dean is serving time for the murder of a young hitchhiker but his wife, Trina, is convinced of his innocence, especially when the body of another girl is found in the same area. An enthusiastic Jodie offers to get involved in Dean's court appeal to reopen his case but Lawless is reluctant until he learns that his old nemesis, Inspector Snow, headed the original inquiry.
