Pat North is being fast tracked for promotion. She has also, thanks to the politically ambitious barrister Robert Rylands, been given an eight year old case for re-opening as having been an unsound conviction. James McCready, an apparently gentle and soft-spoken man, was accused of stabbing to death his lover Gary. He has always claimed Gary killed himself and believes that the original investigating officer was homophobic and framed him by tampering with evidence. The officer in charge was Mike Walker, who now feels as much the accused as McCready but Pat wonders if he truly has something to hide.
