Summer, Fremantle, 1989: the USS Carl Vinson is in town. A PR disaster of nuclear proportions looms when a cache of M16s is smuggled from the aircraft carrier. To make matters worse, it appears there is a link between the arrival of the ship and the murder of two women in the port city. US Navy Master-at-Arms Steve Webb approaches his old friend Frank Swann for a little local assistance. But Frank, suffering from an undiagnosed and debilitating illness, has problems of his own. An escaped con is about to draw him into the crooked operations of the Gold Squad, sparking a sequence of retributions and counterstrikes Swann will be powerless to halt.
