The killing of a local minister leads DCI Tom Mathias and DS Mared Rhys to a remote community in the mountains. Confronted by a family in grief and shocked residents, they must tread carefully as they investigate the life and violent death of the troubled victim. As the case unfolds, DS Sian Owens is charged with leading a separate investigation into the recent attack on Mathias.

When curator Laura Dean is discovered in a shallow grave in remote woodland, Mathias and his team unearth shocking secrets. Meanwhile, the discovery of Iwan Thomas"s body puts DCI Mathias in the firing line, as he becomes the main suspect. Matters are made worse when an independent investigator, John Powell, is brought in to help solve the case and invites DS Owens to assist with his inquiries.

Following a fatal shooting at a remote petrol station, local man Llew Morris is identified as the chief suspect. DCI Mathias and DI Rhys make a gruesome discovery at the house where Llew grew up, and then news arrives that Llew's young son has disappeared from his school. Desperate to find the missing boy and his rampaging father, DCI Mathias breaks protocol and sets off into the mountains alone.

The past comes back to haunt DCI Mathias as he investigates the death of Catrin John, convicted killer and former resident of the Pontarfynach Children's Home. Mathias and Mared see a link between the case and the death of Iwan Thomas. But John Powell is on the cusp of ruling Iwan"s death a suicide. With mounting pressure to close the case, will Mathias toe the line or risk it all for the truth?
