She desperately needs to know he's safe, but once she starts looking, she discovers unexpected things about her own needs and desires. In this gripping story of migrants, love and the sex trade, Karen and Sean's enquiries begin to throw up the same names. While Sean comes up against a corrupt senior officer, Karen finds she's falling in love. Played out against a gritty landscape on the edge of a Northern town, both of them risk losing all they hold precious.
