Storyline
Lucinda Shay is murdered in her home just before she would be crown witness in the trial against the fat cat owner of the crooked investment firm where she worked. Her young son Daniel heard the fatal shot and saw the killers' car drive away, but the trauma may prevent him ever speaking about it at all. To spare the kid the additional horror of a heartless state home, Don takes him home, that is to his grandfatherly dad Allan, and wins his confidence. Meanwhile Charlie, whose own maths colleague Dr. Larry Fleinhardt lost a fortune too, mathematically factors likely suspects from a daunting list of 6,000 investors and employees, who either lost a lot or fear clearing up the scam in court may endanger their winnings...
