For those raised in a loving and caring environment, where the needs of the child are put first, they never truly understand how the absence of this might feel. That person might seem normal to the outside world. They might function at a high-level, play sports and have a favourite novel just like you. But inside they are empty. Forged by a loveless childhood, David feels nothing for the victims he encounters investigating the dark world of child abuse in south London. Confronted by exploitation and sexual violence on a daily basis and with an ever-growing fury inside him, he embarks on a mission to mete out his own kind of justice.
