โฆ Synopsis
A life end...the truth begins
When Detectives Brennan and Rimis are called to an abandoned 19th century lunatic asylum to investigate a suspected suicide, the last person Jill Brennan expected to find was the shattered body of her ex-lover. While all the evidence points to suicide Brennan becomes obsessed with finding the true circumstances surrounding his death. The police commissioner wants the investigation dropped-media interest in a recent hike in the suicide rate of emergency service workers makes Calloway's death a political nightmare.
Believing grief is affecting Jill's judgement, her superiors force her to take some time off. But when another body is found at the old asylum, Jill's back on the case and the investigation takes a darker turn into the world of drugs, murder, Asian gangs and child abuse.
