The police bring in Fade's partner for questioning, but there's something suspicious about his behaviour. He's very chatty, but he's determined to convince the police that he had nothing to do with Fade's murder. The 24-hour countdown begins as DC Vicki Twyford attempts to uncover the truth. Detectives also discover that Fade suffered from mental health and alcohol problems.
