Wigan in the middle of a wet winter is hardly the stuff dreams are made of but for once DS Lasser is happy.
However, when three bodies are discovered floating in a local lake, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to refine a new drug before it hits the streets, a drug that leaves people dead. Someone is using people as test subjects and they don't care who they kill as they try to perfect the product. At least that is what Lasser thinks as he tries to track the killer down. But all is not as it seems and as the body count rises, Lasser finds himself questioning the facts of the case. Someone is using smoke and mirrors to muddy the waters and Lasser soon discovers that the real truth is much darker, much deeper, as the bodies vanish beneath the surface taking their secrets with them.
