Detective David Sharma is on the hunt for a serial killer, a hunt that has led him to the rural Australian town of Port Evans. Dillon Kelly is the victim of a break-in, a man with a painful past and a deep distrust of cops, and he fits the killer's victim profile exactly.
David tells himself that his concern for Dillon is purely professional but can he really deny the attraction he feels? Can he really keep Dillon safe without compromising his cover and jeopardizing the case?
