Vittima dell'invidia dei colleghi e dei superiori, l'agente Nicholas Angel, pluridecorato, viene considerato un esaltato. Con la scusa di una promozione, così, i suoi superiori cercano di allontanarlo il più possibile da Londra, spedendolo in un paesino a 250 km di distanza, dove non accade nulla di emozionante, almeno apparentemente... Seguendo la pista di alcune morti che sembrano casuali, Angel s'imbatte finalmente in un caso "succulento"...
