Newly promoted to Detective Chief Inspector, Glasgow cop Alison "Ally" McCoist's troubles are finally over... She wishes. The discovery of a rat-nibbled corpse leads the city's least popular detective on an off-the-books investigation into widespread corruption, threatening to blow the lid off several murders and cover-ups, including one she herself was responsible for. Meanwhile, Chuck Gardner and his confidential paper-shredding business, Simply Shred, are pulled into McCoist's toxic orbit when he stumbles upon a scandalous piece of paperwork. Handing it over to the polis would be the sensible thing for Chuck to do, but the serious money he owes to a former gangster turned 'legitimate' businessman-security, investigation, and information broker Billy Jamieson-means sensible is not an option. And he's not the only one turning to Jamieson for help. Unhappy with how a certain DCI closed the case of her husband's murder, gangster WAG Lottie McGuinn needs to know who really killed her Paulo, and she's willing to deal with the devil to find out. As all three are pulled deeper into the criminal underworld than ever before, what lengths will they go to to save themselves?
