Spring 1972 brings with it a new start for Morse, having taken time out to deal with the drink. His return to CID coincides with a gruesome discovery in a college garden. The investigation leads him and Thursday to a celebrated orchestra and when a second tragedy hits, they uncover a web of secrets at the company's core.

Meanwhile, grisly London business turns up on Oxford's doorstep when a brutal murder is committed in a derelict warehouse.
