One last drug bust and it's retirement for Inspector Jack Draiton.
He can now devote his time to helping the love of his life recover from her cancer. At the end of the day, they'll set off for Western Australia where an offer of a new, expensive, and unproven treatment gives them hope for more time.
What he can't predict is the major cock up by a junior cop that will prevent him from ever returning to New South Wales.
Sadly the treatment fails and with her death hitting Jack hard, he does what any man might do. He compensates for his grief by hitting the grog.
When he's asked the impossible, five years later. He's reluctant, but there's too much at stake and he must head back into New South Wales. The now uncharted territory of his old stomping ground.
