One day, your son disappears from the playground.
Ten years later, will you finally get the truth?


The disappearance of firearms police officer Jonah Colley’s young son almost destroyed him. A phone call from an old friend leads Jonah to the warehouse Slaughter Quay, and the discovery of four bodies, with a link to his son’s case. Attacked and left for dead in the dark, Jonah is the only survivor.

Under suspicion himself for what happened at Slaughter Quay, Jonah uncovers a network of secrets and lies about the people closest to him – forcing him to question what really happened to his son all those years ago…
