22 year old gay Jake Vickers, son of the chief superintendent, starts his first day as a police constable in Brighton, partnering the experienced Ryan Draper, a single father, who is unimpressed by Jake's handling of a suicidal drug addict and an hysterical shop-lifter, accusing the youngster of nepotism. Detectives Jo Moffat and Carl Hawkins investigate a racist attack but meet hostility from the chief witness, an Indian shop-keeper who feels let down by the police. However Jake redeems himself when he catches the main perpetrator, saving Ryan in the process. Meanwhile lonely inspector Felix Kane averts tragedy when he pursues a desperate father who has abducted his young daughter.
