|summary=An abandoned child found barely alive and a missing teenager are only some of Dr Clare Hart's problems as the South African child protection officer seeks to come to terms with her own problems and a hierarchy intent on wiping out the Section she works for. Gritty crime drama rooted in the social problems of modern Cape Town.

Cassie is out riding on a bridle path hardly used in the height of summer, totally deserted in winter. Her horse takes a tumble, and she goes with it, and stumbles into a tiny, plastic-wrapped child, maybe three-years old, and painfully thin, foot-soles like marble and skin blue with cold.
