During the middle of a storm, a local radio DJ is savagely murdered in his Essex mansion. When the clouds and rain clear the following morning, DS Tomek Bowen and his team discover a crime scene reminiscent of something from the history books.

The evidence suggests this was a random killing. But as Tomek peels back the layers of the victim's life, he realises there's more to the DJ than meets the eye.

Meanwhile, at home, Tomek is forced to battle a difficult teenager who, for some reason, is becoming more and more combative. All because she met Zeus, the man who's going to save the world. But only if she does everything he tells her, regardless of who she hurts along the way.
