John Brand is heartbroken over his trans teenage daughter Michelle being found bludgeoned with a bat and posthumously dragged to an abandoned field. While his wife Anne blames John for indulging the "folly", firstborn son Matt soldiers on and acts as protective big brother. The local bigot bully having been eliminated as prime suspect, the team must concentrate on the torn family dynamics, such as John having arranged a flat for him and Michelle, and set confession traps. Rusty looks up to Sharon's ex-husband Jackson Raydor as a role model and chaperone, especially for facilitating a drive-in movie date with Rusty's study partner Kris Slater.
