Dr. Daniel Harrow is a brilliant, maverick Forensic Pathologist at the Queensland Institute of Forensic Medicine (QIFM). But he's quitting — the job is getting too much for him and he desperately wants to reconnect with his estranged daughter Fern. He makes Fern a bold promise to leave with her on his yacht Bettie and sail all the way to Bora Bora.

However before they weigh anchor, Harrow must deal with one more case. Bruce Reimers is a grieving father whose daughter Olivia's death was ruled a suicide by Harrow's colleague, the thorough but unfeeling Fairley. Despite Olivia's history of mental illness and evidence that Olivia overdosed on medication, Bruce is convinced the overdose was forced.

Harrow sets about re-examining Olivia's corpse and gathering information. While quizzing Detective Sergeant Bryan Nichols, who led the initial investigation, he meets new Scenes of Crime Officer Soroya Dass, a witty, beautiful woman with whom he feels an immediate spark.

Harrow continues his off-book investigation and with Simon's help, he examines Olivia's body one last time where they find new evidence.

But just when Harrow thinks all is well and he can sail to Bora Bora with Fern, a new case lands on his desk. Bones have been discovered in a cocoon of concrete pulled from the Brisbane river. Who do the bones belong to? And who put them there?
