A severely mutilated corpse is found on a railway line, belonging to a known paedophile in his twenties, Francis Neil. Noel Hopkins is arrested, following revelations years earlier of an affair with a young pupil Nikki believes to be Francis but he is released due to insufficient evidence, though he is sacked from his job and his house torched, his saviour being Danny, father of the dead boy Michael. It is ultimately revealed that in fact Liam did not exist - he was the 20-something Francis, obsessed with Michael, and both were victims of the paedophile ring. Ultimately Nikki helps Noel to overcome prejudice and regain his job.
