When Karin Bolger, a successful but controversial businesswoman and her friend Sive Collins are abducted, a nationwide investigation is launched. Fresh from promotion and transfer to her new station in Galway, DI Naomi Fox is assigned to the case.

With Karin s plans to close the country's oldest and best-loved brewery, the finger of suspicion is pointed firmly in the direction of the Justice for the Workers protestors, led by one bitter and angry family. But as DI Fox enters Karin s enviable world, the seemingly perfect life slowly unravels to expose a solitary and lonely existence, threatened by betrayal, exploitation and disloyalty.
