In different parts of London, three new members of the Metropolitan Police Service are preparing for their first day of training at the Hinton Training Center. Jamie Fulton, an Oxford graduate, Warren, a West Indian who knows the streets like the back of his hand, and the blonde, beautiful Tina Lee, are looking forward to starting new lives. All three are eager to leave their past lives behind. But Assistant Commissioner Peter Latham has other plans for them. They are to join an underground special police unit, a secret operation that will involve long-term surveillance of a criminal gang. Their target is one of the world's largest drug lords: Dan Donovan, known as "Tango One." This man is wealthy, powerful, and influential, though the UK Customs and Excise Agency, the Drug Monitoring Agency, and the entire European Union consider him their top target, they have been struggling to find solid evidence to bring him down. To get close to their target, Jack, Warren, and Tina must return to the outside world, making themselves part of the crime. They know their mission is difficult and dangerous, but they don't know that someone else has other plans for them, a person who is determined to put their lives on the line.
