Storyline

Seemingly respectable widower Nigel Carter is threatened by two armed bogus policemen but his evasive response leads Jim to believe he is holding something back. Years earlier his daughter Joanna was kidnapped in Beirut and Jim suspects that threat of another kidnap is being used to force him into action on behalf of past criminal associates. The two intruders threaten to expose a guilty secret unless they are paid off or else Joanna will be taken again. Jim must prevent it and identify who exactly the gunmen are.
