Tom Bevans, a policeman, is known among his peers as "the Sad Man." As a Family Liaison Officer, it is his responsibility to inform the friends and family of victims of the whereabouts of their loved ones, hence he is inevitably the bearer of bad news.
However, Tom is burdened by both old and new crimes. His best friend Dani's murder, which has never been solved, haunts him.
Tom is determined to bring the murderer to justice when a once-in-a-lifetime chance for him to lead the investigation into a brutal murder presents itself. A young girl was discovered dead in her own house after being cut so severely and so precisely that she bled to death and left behind a planned pool of blood shaped like angel wings.
