Harry and Nikki find themselves on opposite sides to each other on a high profile case, and try not to let their opposition be anything but professional and not leak into their personal lives. However, they are both determined to prove themselves, but discover how evidence can often have two different interpretations. The case involves Tom Flannery, whose wife died as a result of a fall from a stair life. Harry discovers that his first wife also died from the same thing, and he is determined to prove the man’s guilt, while Nikki believes the police investigation was not as if should be, but her determination may only lead to further tragedy.
