Richard Knox has served his time, so why shouldn`t he be allowed to live wherever he wants? Yes, in the past he was a violent rapist, but he has seen the error of his ways, found God, and wants to leave his dark past in Newcastle behind him and make a new start-or so he says. Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn`t exactly thrilled to be part of the team helping Knox settle into his new Aberdeen home, and he`s even less thrilled to be stuck with DSI Danby, the man who put Knox behind bars for 10 years, supposedly here to "keep an eye on things".
