In this highly-anticipated second series, Janet is seconded from the DPP to lead a Royal Commission into a deadly upsurge in gun crime. Conscripting solicitors Richard Stirling (Hamish Michael) and Lina Badir (Andrea Demetriades), and the ambitious Owen Mitchell (Damian Walshe-Howling) as Counsel Assisting, and with coercive powers Detective Andy Campbell (Christopher Morris) can only dream of, Janet and her team peel back the complex layers of intrigue underpinning the illicit trade in weapons.

Compelled by her own demons to expose the truth, Janet must confront political and personal enemies that will lead to a shocking reveal that threatens all she holds dear.

Completing the stellar cast are Peter Kowitz, Leah Purcell, Terry Serio, Philip Quast, Anita Hegh, Aaron Jeffrey, Genevieve Hegney, Nicholas Hope and Ewen Leslie.
