Sparky young police officer Katherine is on the fast-track programme and until now has been frustrated by being confined to a desk.

Katherine is having an ill-advised affair with married colleague Andy Bevan – but when Elizabeth's son Joe comes into her life he feels like the sort of guy she should go for.
