Unbeknownst to him, Ste is spying on him and searching for clues about James who allegedly died in the car bomb explosion set up by Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power) to kill his bitter enemy Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas). 

Since coming out of his coma and being discharged from hospital, Ste has been playing detective and as the clues mount, he is sure James is still living. 

Will anyone take Ste’s conviction seriously and is he onto something?
