Storyline

Assisted by a new pathologist, Dr. Eve Lockhart, Det. Supt. Boyd and his team re-open the case of a young man found dead in 1990 in a pit of concrete. He has signs of a beating but they also found part of an ear in his stomach. Boyd is surprised to learn of a nunnery near the crime scene as it isn't mentioned in the original police reports. When a man - minus an earlobe - is dropped off at a local hospital, Boyd wonders if there is a connection with their 16 year old case. When DNA testing reveals the two to be brothers, the evidence leads the police to organized illegal fighting. Written by garykmcd
