Detective Inspector Steve Harley is pleased to be pulled away from his secondment to the murder team investigating a serial killer on a farm but when he asks for an assistant he gets Detective Constable Miles Davis who is thorough but knows no more about Fordhamton than the easy going cockney Harley. Suspicion falls on the last person to be seen with a Price, a blond woman who has since disappeared.

Strange things begin to happed such as green paint sprayed around buildings, Price's factory is burned down and there is chao at the fashion show held at the school. Harley gets his recall to London and leave Davis to clear up the mystery. He takes Harley's advise and sits and watches and a surprising person is arrested for all the crimes.
