At this crucial time, Bertie is concerned that somebody within the company could be leaking secrets to their competitors.

With Bertie under pressure to protect his company Forosa, Lu and Frank are brought on board to see if they can find the culprit. However, when a suspicious death follows, it's sure to be a challenging time for the duo.

Former Casualty actor Charles Dale plays a key role in the episode as he takes on the part of the company's chief executive Jacob Tark, who is Bertie's father.
