En blæsende og regnfuld aften bliver chefkriminalinspektør Alan Banks hidkaldt fra sin lune Yorkshire'ske kaminild til politichef Riddles fornemme private hjem. Anledningen er prekær: Riddle tigger Banks om hjælp til, i uofficielt ærinde, at drage til London for at eftersøge Riddles oprørske bortløbne teenagedatter Emily. Ivrig for at undslippe sit monotone skrivebordsarbejde indvilliger Banks, dog ikke uden betænkeligheder. Og det skal også snart vise sig, at han har fået hænderne mere end fulde. Jagten gennem hovedstadens moralsk anløbne underverden og tilbage igen er ikke en karruseltur. Gennem narkotikatåger, ulovligt softwaresalg og gangsterafpresning falder han over familiehemmeligheder, som er så grusomme og vidtrækkende i deres konsekvenser, at det koster både sjæl og krop at bringe dem frem i lyset. I dette spændingsmættede psykologiske drama må Banks erkende, at ondskab er allestedsnærværende, og at lidelse og smerte rammer i flæng.
