Janet, mourning the death two years ago of her partner Ash, is appointed as Royal Commissioner into serious gun crime in New South Wales.
After the drive-by shooting at the Nobakht's, the Royal Commission focuses on the origin of George Healy's gun and the money Todd left behind - leading to a dead body and a link to Ash's murder.
After discovering the gun used in the drive-by was used in Ash's killing and the kneecapping of gambling addict Felix Murphy, the Commission launches an undercover operation to find out who shot Felix.
The suspicion on Karen is quickly transferred to Major Simon Hamilton and continues to mount due to his missing Ferrari, abusive reputation, no alibi for the night of Todd's murder and a shipping container full of handguns.
With increasing political pressure for the Royal Commission to deliver results, and the container full of handguns so far yielding nothing, Janet is forced to fast-track the undercover mission.
The undercover operation goes awry, with deadly consequences. Her cover blown, Bianca offers protection to Felix. Janet, Richard, and Lina prepare for their anticorruption hearing.
The commission finds a connection between Major Hamilton and Robbie Carter, the social-media face of crime victims. The attorney general gives Janet an ultimatum-either resign from the commission or risk her reputation in a public hearing.
With her Royal Commission suspended, Janet has to fight off the State Corruption watchdog, her political enemies, and ultimately, Ash's killer.
