Diane Spencer is embracing her new life as founder of the Social Injustice Centre, a groundbreaking project aimed at freeing the innocent and exposing corruption. But as Diane champions justice for others, the ghosts of her own past resurface with a vengeance. When the daughter of Judge Lucy Prior - known for her lenient sentences - vanishes, Sydney erupts in a media storm. Chief Superintendent Bruce Spencer, Diane's brother, leads the investigation, but the list of suspects is tangled in a web of power, crime, and revenge. Is the culprit Sarah Bancroft's vengeful brother, disgraced aristocrat Winston Stevens, or her son Henry, a wannabe gangster out of his depth in Sydney's criminal underworld? Meanwhile, the SIC team races to prove the innocence of an Aboriginal woman wrongly imprisoned for murder. As the case grows more complex, Diane's newly recruited intern, Emma, becomes a victim herself, drawing the team into the dark, dangerous world of Henry Bancroft. While lives hang in the balance, Diane confronts the man who shattered her own. As buried secrets come to light, the boundaries between justice and vengeance blur. With the stakes rising, Diane and Bruce find themselves on a collision course - both seeking resolution, but in ways that could destroy everything they've fought for.
