When one of their directors dies in suspicious circumstances Nick goes under cover in their Docklands offices. He discovers a willing work force but a management with an arrogance which could easily prove to be criminal. At the same time his lover, Arlene, arrives from the States having been caught up in a fraudulent property scam and she is keen for Nick to use his skills to bring the conmen to book. Torn between professional and personal obligations, Nick starts a scam of his own to trap the miscreants into proving their own crimes, but it is a scheme which could snare him as well and land him back in jail.
