When a body is found in a river, Cadi leads an investigation into the lives of two brothers. The brothers have secrets to hide, a harrowing history, but you can't outrun your past. --

Robert and Vera try to do what's best for the people they love and those they protect. But as the characters struggle to suppress their inner demons, a course of destruction emanates from hidden secrets that can never be escaped.

After learning about reports of animal abuse at the Williamses' farm, Cadi and Owen head there to question Ifan's mother, Mair. From a former farmhand named Dafydd, the detectives learn more about what kind of man Ifan was. Sin stews over his financial debt, and Father McEwan pays a visit to Glyn. Cadi finally tells Rachel about her job interview in Liverpool, prompting an argument.

When Father McEwan's body is discovered, Rachel, in her capacity as pathologist, tells Cadi she thinks the murders are linked-but she doesn't want to engage with Cadi beyond the professional. The detectives question Dafydd, who reveals his suspicions about Ifan's long-ago involvement in the arson attack that killed Branwen Thomas. Cadi sends a team to the Thomas house, but the brothers have fled.

When the body of local farmer Ifan Williams is found in a remote river in the North Wales countryside, DCI Cadi John and DS Owen Vaughan are called to investigate. When she informs the man's widow of his death, Cadi realizes there was no love lost between husband and wife. Meanwhile, brothers Sin and Glyn Thomas seem troubled, and Sin worries about how to protect Glyn, who has Down syndrome.

Evan is officially filed as a missing person, but Faith decides not to tell the police about the fake ID and wig she found in his things. After learning that their law business is heavily in debt, Faith represents reformed criminal Steve in a custody battle.

After the police arrive to investigate the break-in at her house, Faith confronts her colleague Cerys, who leads Faith to Dr. Alpay, a dentist involved with the Glynn family. Faith also helps an elderly man whose landlord wants him evicted.

Having been dragged into the station and questioned about Evan's disappearance, Faith continues to clash with her old adversary DI Susan Williams, despite her police officer brother-in-law, Terry, trying to mediate. Later, Faith defends a priest accused of taking money from the church.

Feeling betrayed by her former client Arthur, Faith goes through his phone and finds evidence that Williams was at the scene of the crash that killed Dr. Alpay. Cerys attempts to return Faith's children to her, while Faith gets Steve out on bail.
