Crime

Sergeant Jill Jackson has been promoted and is transferred to a task force targeting gang-related home invasions in southwestern Sydney. This means leaving her beloved eastern suburbs and her partner, Scott, which would have been impossible a year ago. Jill is much stronger since the death of the man who abducted her and is now ready to face the challenge of a new team and a new partner. The gang is believed to be responsible for at least five brutal home invasions over the past two months, with the most recent culminating in a vicious knife attack that has left one of the victims crippled. On Jill's first day in the office the task force finds that that violence has escalated to murder; Jill and the team are now hunting a psychopath. One of the victims knows who the psychopath is. A figure from his delinquent past who has come back to haunt him.
