Committed to forging ahead with his plan to set up house with Anna Trukan, the Polish daughter of one of his informants, Church is still not convinced that he can trust the woman he has agreed to help stay in the country. While he follows her, he's unaware he too is being followed — by his colleagues Chris and Flynn, who are under the instruction of Harris. Things get out of hand when shots are fired and one of the key players suffers a massive heart attack.

Church is hamstrung when an illegal poker game he's involved in is run through by a gang of crooks — among them, his colleague, Leo Flynn who is working undercover with armed robber Damien Broadbent. Back at PHQ, Flynn comes clean to Church and hands back part of the haul (an expensive engagement ring) on one proviso — the cops can't pressure Broadbent for their booty as it could blow his cover and put his life at risk. Church agrees, but when Anna Trukan finds the ring, she believes Church is offering his hand in marriage. Without the heart to tell her otherwise, and with Broadbent demanding that Flynn gets the ring back, Church is pulled from all sides.
