As Caleb seeks evidence of who is involved in a series of murders seemingly aimed at preventing the exposure of money laundering activities, can he trust a former colleague, or the police, or a former police officer? And always there are the challenges of his deafness, an issue skilfully portrayed by Viskic, from how to overcome listening problems while driving to how to use a mobile phone. He tries harder than before to avoid getting into dangerous and compromising situations but fails, possibly because he is such a decent human being. This complex character continues to mature.
