A mysterious advert in a newspaper promising to restore hope to the hopeless brings together four strangers. But none realise they will end up investigating a twisted and troubling crime that threatens their very futures.

Mitch, a former Crime Scene Investigator; Olivia, a brilliant PhD student; and Florence, a middle-aged solicitor, find themselves working with an enigmatic newspaper Editor who refers to himself only as Ed.

But when Maddie, a teenage girl, disappears in sinister circumstances, the team is drawn into the hunt for her. And when a neighbour’s body is discovered in a pool of blood, they realise they must use their unique skills in a race against time.

But can they solve the mystery before it’s too late? And before Ed’s shadowy past overcomes them all?
