Amateur private eye Jack Scott is fascinated by an accidental death that could be murder, and a man's disappearance that suggests something more sinister. Scott's investigating uncovers a simmering paternity feud stretching back 18 years, and a cryptic note with echoes of an old BBC theme tune. And so he is led to a retirement home where a 60's gangster resides. As the web becomes more tangled, Jack Scott knows that solving both cases will be exhausting and fraught with danger. It takes a brush with death, more corpses, and a truly horrifying discovery before Scott can finally unravel a baffling confusion of murders.
