Cub reporter Jasmine Thomas may have aspirations to become investigative journalist of the year, even on a small regional rag like the Hotten Courier. But she completely disregards the dangers she’s facing.
For if trying to expose the drug cartel run by the notorious MacFarlane family doesn’t result in serious harm, then continuing to flirt with odious bent copper Shane will.
Naive and gullible, Jas does manage to get a job at Hellraisers, the MacFarlane’s lap-dancing club. But snooping on boss Gary results in being sacked on her very first shift. And outside the club, she and Eli then bump into his ex-girlfriend, Danielle – last seen being arrested by Shane for possession of a bag of cocaine and shipped back to London.
‘Half the coppers round here work for Gary,’ Danielle warns Jasmine. ‘It’s better pay and there’s all sorts of perks.’ And Shane turns out to be one of them. Unaware that he sexually assaulted Donna, Jas asks him about his involvement with dodgy Danielle and the MacFarlanes, and he fobs her off with a ridiculous sob story.
‘Stupid bitch is buying it, hook, line and sinker,’ he tells Gary later.
Worse, she gives in to Shane’s dubious charms and sleeps with him. What you might call banged to rights…
