Gemma Wishart's car is discovered by a walker, but there is no sign of the driver. In Hull, a woman's body is found in a hotel bathroom; the only clue is a card bearing the name of an escort agency. For Detective Inspector Lynne Jordan, the missing woman and the victim have a tenuous connection.

Just as Eliza's career at an art gallery by Sheffield's canal seems set to take off, she begins to doubt an artist's motives, as nightmare images on his canvases spill over to reality. Could tragedies from four years ago be linked to present sinister events?
