Join Ali Dawson and her cold case team for another thrilling case.
Ali Dawson is a police detective who leads a unit that investigates
cases so cold her team must travel to the distant past to solve them.
But Ali and the team haven't been allowed to time-travel ever since
their technical expert, Jones, got stuck in Victorian London, never to
be seen again.
To distract herself from meaningless tasks, Ali decides to look into a
present-day case - an apparent suicide of a young man who fell to his
death from a high building. She believes the death is linked to a
psychic medium called Barry Power, who convinced the boy he could fly.
Ali goes to one of Power's shows where he claims to be in contact with
Jones.
When Ali notices that evening that her cat, Terry, has gone missing,
she decides to go back in time just long enough to prevent Terry from
escaping through his open cat flap. A dangerous plan which backfires,
and she finds herself once more in Victorian London, where she meets
Jones, as well as Power, and the darkly mysterious Cain Templeton with
whom Ali has unfinished business from her previous visit to the past .

Derek believes she is having an affair, and when she fears her

threatens to leave Derek and then disappears, no one believes she
has been abducted. It will fall to DS Geddes to untangle the
