When a client wants the Missing You agency to check out her new boyfriend, Bev, who often works with the agency is not keen on taking the case. They already know that a human head has been delivered to a police station in Brixton raising concerns about gang warfare. Bev does take the case, and is soon wondering how her search is connected to what's happening at the police station. It is not long before Bev and Joan discover that someone is bugging their office and they are up against the security services. Will the agency survive, and will Bev and her client live to see what happens?

When a wife goes missing, writer and reluctant private investigator Bev Stone, is hired to find her. Bev takes the occasional investigation for her friend Joan who runs a missing persons' agency, called, Missing You. The case is trouble from the start as Bev doesn't trust the husband who is the client, but that's not her only concern. Her investigation brings her into contact with people who don't want the wife to be found and Bev finds herself dealing with a dangerous adversary.
