      Eeeny meeny, miney, moe. Who lives, who dies only I know. When the body of a doctor is discovered brutally murdered in local woodland, Detective Kim Stone is shocked to discover the victim is Gordon Cordell – a man linked to a previous case she worked on involving the death of a young school girl. Gordon has a chequered past, but who would want him dead? As the investigation gets underway, Gordon’s son is involved in a horrific car crash which leaves him fighting for his life. Kim's sure this was no accident. Then the body of a woman is found dead in suspicious circumstances and Kim makes a disturbing link between the victims and Russells Hall Hospital. The same hospital where Gordon worked. With Kim and her team still grieving the loss of one of their own, they’re at their weakest and facing one of the most dangerous serial killers they’ve ever encountered. Everything is on the line. Can Kim keep her squad together and find the killer before he claims his next victim? The killer is picking off his victims at a terrifying pace, and he’s not finished yet.

    • Wie kommt Melvin, der Freund von Lauras Mutter, eigentlich dazu, sich in Lauras Angelegenheiten einzumischen! Nur weil er selber früher mal bei Demonstrationen war, gehen ihn Lauras neueste Demo-Aktivitäten und ihr Freund Daniel noch lange nichts an! Jon glaubt, bei Sumitha ein gutes Stück weiter gekommen zu sein, wäre da nur nicht sein Vater, der immer im falschen Moment auf den Plan tritt. Daß Sumitha Jon verschlüsselt um Rat fragt, wie man an den Mann seiner Träume herankommt, interpretiert er völlig falsch - von Sumithas neuem Schwarm, einem Lehrer, hat er keine Ahnung.§Jemma trägt sich mit großen Schauspielplänen. Doch die erhoffte Rolle der Estrella fällt unerwartet an die unscheinbare Alexa. Was für eine Enttäuschung, zumal Jemma eine ganze Menge Streit mit ihrem Freund Rob und ihrer Mutter dafür auf sich genommen hatte. Bei Chelseas Eltern ist zumindest teilweise Entwarnung angesagt, seit bei ihrer Mutter das Medikament gegen Wechseljahrsbeschwerden zu wirken scheint. Doch in einer ziemlich abgefahrenen Disco gerät Chelsea an Eddie, der sich ganz schön direkt an sie ranmacht und ihr ein paar Pillen -zur Entspannung- anbietet. Wie gut, daß sie sich im richtigen Augenblick wieder mit ihrer Freundin Laura versöhnt.
