While detective Catherine McLeod is investigating the murder of a local drug-dealer, suspecting it to be a portent of bigger crimes to come, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly and incompetently earning a crust working for her uncle Jim's private investigation business. However, when Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real, her only clue the last missing-person case her uncle was working on. Cautiously tracking down Glasgow gangland enforcer and professional assassin Glen Fallan, Jasmine stumbles into a web of corruption and decades-buried secrets that threatens to tear apart an entire police force.
