Wanting

Oliver and Langham have the huge task of finding more than twenty men who have committed a murder—one where the victim is gay and has been used and abused in a sexual rite. Upon viewing the first victim, Oliver knows this is the first of many, and he's dreading the bodies piling up.

Adam is sick of hiding. He's secreted himself away since he was attacked by a violent gang and knows he needs to sort himself out before his boyfriend, Dane, gets tired of looking after his every need. After he's exposed to another frightening episode in the mini-mart where Dane works, they both realise something's got to give. They move away to Lower Repton, a small hamlet that recently hit the news due to the Sugar Strands case.

What should have been a shelter from the evil of city life becomes another nightmare. Adam is forced to face his fears when he and Dane find a dead body—and Adam starts hearing voices in his head. The two men meet Oliver and Langham, and together they are drawn into a web of deceit.
