After publishing a story about drugs and violence in his hometown, journalist Mobeen Azhar returns to Huddersfield to face his critics. Meanwhile, with one drugs kingpin dead and another behind bars, a spate of murders suggests a turf war in West Yorkshire in which more and more extreme violence is being used to get to the top.
Another tragic killing leads Mobeen to examine the tactics police are using to deal with the new threat of extreme violence that is spilling out onto the streets. Mobeen’s investigation reveals new information about Yassar Yaqub’s rival, King Meggy, and uncovers a promising new front in the war on drugs.
