The early years of the New Millennium. The High Veldt on the Dark Continent. A young family is ripped apart by a brutal, pre-meditated home invasion. The unknown assailants escaping into the night. Fifteen years later the South West of England is rocked by a series of devastating, suspected terrorist bombings, putting the nation on high alert. Investigations uncover connections to these tragedies with a catastrophic IRA car bombing in Northern Ireland a generation earlier. The team at Moorland Forensic Consultants battle conflicts of interests and personal crises as they work with government scientists and a compromised, faltering local law enforcement to bring the bombers to justice.
