Award winning actress Marta Dusseldorp returns as the brilliant Prosecutor Janet King. In series 2, Janet is seconded from a case of psychological abuse in the armed services to head up a Royal Commission into gun crime.
Conscripting solicitors Richard and Lina, and the ambitious Owen Mitchell as Counsel Assisting, Janet trades the rarefied atmosphere of mahogany courtrooms, wigs and gowns for plain clothes and a community hall. There she and her team focus on the inciting murder of 25-year-old Todd Wilson. Todd is married to Elaheh, one of the Nobakht – Parker clan, who are mid-range operators in the tow truck and car rebirthing trade.
As Janet and her team unravel the complex personal and business relationships of the Nobakht and Parker families, a ballistics report on a weapon recently used in a local hold up confirms it to be the same gun that killed Ash, Janet’s partner. The killer has never been caught, adding to the pressure. Ash’s sister, Deborah, commences legal proceedings against Janet laying claim to Ash’s only remaining frozen embryo – with the outcome hinging on whether a judge decides eight cells should be identified as property or life?
Janet navigates the final twists and turns of Todd’s murder and end up where the series began, the Army, and a crime of passion and mistaken identities. With her life under threat and in a nail-biting conclusion, she will come face to face with the person who shot and killed Ash.
