Henry Graves has dedicated his life to the prison service, but he
is unprepared for the challenge his new and secret assignment
brings. Tasked with managing a government facility hidden deep in
the countryside, Henry finds himself tested as never before: by the
confused and frightened prisoners, by the sinister Dr Silk and,
above all, by his conscience. Tom Clarke, a precocious but naive
journalist, has his own problems meanwhile. His career -- and his
life -- is turned upside down by the arrival of Julia Priestley,
who seeks his help in finding her estranged husband, Arthur, an
innocent dentist who has been arrested under severe new
anti-terrorism legislation. The authorities admit they have taken
him but will not say where he is being held -- or why. Discovering
a trail that implicates those at the very top of government, Tom
and Julia begin a quest to find Arthur, and the truth about his
incarceration. But some people will stop at nothing to keep the
facility's secret hidden, and soon the couple find themselves
fighting for their lives ...
