Detective Sergeant Jason Shepherd is hospitalised following a near-fatal electrocution, and regains consciousness with no memory of his life. After learning that he is a serving police officer, and is currently estranged from his wife and children, Shepherd sets about re-investigating the case he was working on before his accident with the help of his superior, DCI Kate Gunning, and is astonished to find that he seems to be in the pocket of known criminals as he uncovers evidence of nuclear terrorism. | |||||||
