Twelve-year-old Gordon Weaver is killed on waste-ground in Liverpool. His grandfather, Doyle, sends for the boy's father, who returns from Spain to search for the killers. He goes to an old friend to obtain finance for his stay, and gets involved in a raid on a city club owner.
Weaver believes he can spend the rest of his life in sunny exile, but a letter from Liverpool eventually arrives telling him his young son has been murdered in a crime of futile viciousness.
Weaver is back in his adopted city to find the killers of his young son, but he needs the name of a bent copper from his partner-in-crime Irwin, even at the risk of aborting their well-planned heist.
Doyle has been murdered, and Brown sets out to take his friend's body home to Ireland while Weaver pursues the killers, helped by Hazel.
