Her career is on the verge of ruin.Nick Cane is free after five years inside for possession with intent. He's missing Sarah, who can't be seen to associate with an ex-con. Banned form teaching in schools, Nick tutors privately and chases a hedonistic old flame, before landing a job in a new rehab centre. Inspired by the chance to make a difference, Nick tries to help a gang of teenage girls avoid a life of drugs and prostitution. That's when the trouble starts and Nick realises someone is out to get him.Sarah and Nick's dilemmas may not be as separate as they seem. But is it too late and too dangerous for them to help each other?
