Bullied by his elder brother and discovering he is illegitimate; Ross Williams leaves home for London. He joins the police force and ultimately becomes the leader of an armed response unit. When a drug fuelled youth goes on a shooting spree in a supermarket, Williams' squad is despatched, but with a new leader. However, Williams is forced to assume control, which instigates a sequence of events that impacts on the rest of his life. He leaves the force and eventually returns to his native Northumberland, where he inherits a dilapidated estate and title from his real father. Over a period of years he and his wife improve and develop the estate and its many offshoots into thriving businesses, yet, he is bedevilled with the past and the appearance of those who would do him and his family harm, coupled with unavoidable issues that continuously arise to test his resolve.
