Jim Brennan is flying high. Against all odds, he is tipped for the head job at Glasgow's prestigious university; an office at the top of the ivory tower. Not bad for the son of a hardman who grew up in a room and kitchen.
When Jim's son Elliot is arrested on drugs charges, he is approached by men he thought he had left safely in his past. Their demands threaten his family, students and reputation. The question is, how far will Professor Jim Brennan go to save the life he built?
