Lee Kane isn't your everyday police detective. He isn't the ideal husband and he wasn't a favourite son.

And yet to all intents and purposes he is all of these things to those who love and know him.

The only problem is that nobody really knows him at all because nobody knows Kane's past and nobody can ever be allowed to know it.

Lee Kane is a box of contradictions, but like ageing, his past is slowly but surely catching up with him.
