Winter, an ex-MI5 operative, battles to clear his name after being wrongly accused of colluding with diamond smugglers. When suspended, he vows to discover how the smugglers repeatedly avoided the traps set by his team. But as his wife undergoes cancer treatment, he finds it hard to balance time at her bedside with action to vindicate himself.

The chase takes him from the windswept Romney Marsh of Southern England to Helsinki and Finland's snowy interior; and rapidly places him in the path of a Syrian assassination squad.

"Mum and Dad, you'd be proud of me."
