Taking Emma to Cornwall to put some distance between her and her abusive, drug addict fiancé seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, Ed takes her to a place where she is in even more danger, as a serial killer is at large, targeting young attractive women. DCI Bob Brown is heading up the investigation and under increasing pressure to solve the case as each attack becomes more frenzied and the killer just as elusive. Could the answer be as simple as Ed suggests? Brown doesn't think so. Ed however, has other things to worry about as his holiday rapidly turns into a living nightmare, after being singled out by Mack, a local thug whose vindictiveness stops at nothing, not even murder.
