When Bernard and Maitland from HET find the lorry, what they're expecting to unveil is a treasure trove of coveted sustenance and sumptuous delicacies, exactly what the government are depriving the rest of the population of.
What they're not expecting is a dead body.
Entangled in a whole new mystery, the team find themselves drawn into the thick of a government cover up, and tugging at the threads of a global conspiracy.
Tensions rising throughout the city and the nation, the stakes have never been higher.
