Assigned to investigate a double homicide in a townhouse in South London, Detective Caius Beauchamp uncovers more than just a simple burglary gone wrong when he delves into the dark history of the affluent family involved.
Meanwhile, Caius finds himself navigating a complex web of inheritance issues that have unexpectedly made the Beauchamps the owners of a grand country estate. As they adjust to their new life among the elite, Caius recognizes the victims from a recent train journey and realizes that the case hits uncomfortably close to home.
