25 years for a murder he didn't commit, Jack Smith is out on life licence determined to seek justice and clear his name
Convicted for the gruesome murder of an ex girlfriend twenty five years ago, JD Smith is back amongst society a bitter and broken man. Now the wrong side of fifty, this once good looking, carefree, philandering, hedonistic stalwart of the post punk music scene is left to reflect on how a lost, drug fuelled weekend and a bizarre set of circumstances led to his long incarceration without right to appeal, how despite maintaining his innocence throughout, all the evidence pointed and continues to point to his guilt.
Out on life licence, Jack Smith must set about his prison made vow to find the real killer, but before he can pursue the quest to clear his name, he first has to assuage the demons that reside inside his head and haunt his nightmares; rid himself of the Dark Angel that continues to taunt, torment and test his sanity.
Mistrustful of a legal system that had already devastatingly failed him, he makes an almost fatal decision to take the law into his own hands, but unbeknown to him, someone else is on a mission to catch a killer...
