Rob's parents Helen and Frank start to become suspicious when they learn that Rob's boss,Alan Maxfield,has been instructed by his lawyer to hold back the body and that the depot's CCTV cameras were not working on that day. In addition to this,Michael, Rob's workmate tells Helen that Health and Safety training,contrary to Maxfield's assurances,were minimal. However the C.P.S. find they have insufficient evidence to prosecute Maxfield. Whilst Frank turns to drink,Helen becomes obsessive about obtaining justice for her son,leading to her appearing in court where events do not turn out entirely for the worst.
