When suspicious betting patterns emerge around a series of races, Hinkley goes deep into the shadowy world of race fixing and illegal gambling.

The investigation puts Hinkley in physical danger as powerful people try to silence him. Racing against time, he must gather evidence while staying one step ahead of those who want him dead. The case forces Hinkley to question who he can trust in a sport where millions of pounds change hands on the outcome of each race. His pursuit of justice becomes personal when the corruption threatens everything he values about horse racing.
