Leeds 1982. As a city struggles to break free of the past, evil finds a new place to hide.

DS Mick Hunniford, tired and tainted by the botched Yorkshire Ripper investigation, is yesterday's man, his career hanging by a thread.

Maureen, owner of Leeds's leading brothel, struggles to recover from a horrendous attack three years before.

When notorious escort Lynda Brown is killed in front of Maureen's eyes, she and Mick find themselves drawn together once more.

The pair must face a new killer, with new appetites, one which dwells among the city's elites. Can they put the past behind them once and for all, even if this investigation proves to be their last?
