Private investigator Ed Case believes that if you are looking for someone, the first place to look is where you least expect to find them. This reverse logic works to his advantage when hired by his friend Chris Stevens to find her missing fiancé, Lionel. Finding Lionel is the easy part. Keeping him alive is anything but, as Lionel's colourful past has caught up with him.
Reece Greenfield, a powerful and ambitious man, is trying to erase his past, systematically killing anyone who could derail his political ambitions. Lionel is the last man on that list, and it's now up to Ed and former DCI, Bob Brown, to ensure he remains the last man alive.
