It’s a chilly Auckland winter, but for Hana Westerman and her family, it is a time of excitement. Matariki is approaching â€" the small cluster of stars also known as the Seven Sisters is a sacred constellation in Maori culture, heralding a time of new beginnings. Hana’s daughter Addison is getting engaged and Hana’s new role within her community is going well. For once, life is good, peaceful.  Â
But this Matariki brings unwelcome change. When Hana’s ex-husband Jaye, a high-flying Detective Inspector, is shot in what looks like a random hold-up, Hana offers her help to the senior police officer spearheading the investigation, DI Elisa Grey. With access to police intelligence, Hana makes a breakthrough that leads to a potential suspect with links to a Chinese organised-crime syndicate. But then Addison receives a phone call telling her that the police have the wrong man. Â
Was Jaye really just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or is his shooting related to something else â€" an old undercover case deep in his past? Â
