MI5 agent Jake Robinson is back, pitting his wits once again against The Family, a high-powered network with far-reaching arms that simultaneously caress the heights of Government while clawing through the gutters of the criminal underworld. Jake's intervention in the miscarriage of justice surrounding the murder trial of his friend Jase Phillips is called upon once again when Phillips is murdered in prison. With The Family the obvious conspirators, Jake has no choice but to go undercover to get to the bottom of and avenge the death of his friend. Once inside, Jake is subjected to the threat of violence wherever he turns. He soon floats to the top of the pecking order, but from there the only way is down, with half the prison population and all of The Family are more than happy to facilitate his fall.
