The discovery of a dismembered body in a scrap metal yard, believed to have been stored in a domestic freezer for decades…

A unique tattoo on the corpse leads to the discovery of a 1990 crime involving four people now spread around the country. Ram Sidhu and his wife Anna live in London, with Liz Baildon and her fiancée Janet in Cambridge, Fiona Grayson and her partner Geoff in the Peak District, and Dean Barton and his wife Marnie living in Rochester.

The investigation threatens to shatter their reputations, family relationships and lives.
