Regan gets caught in the crossfire between the family of a recently deceased gangland leader and the members of the late man's crime syndicate, regarding the division of the hoodlum's wealth. The hitherto innocent son manages to play-off his parent's ex-cohorts against one another with increasing dexterity and appears only too keen to pick up the duplicitous traits of his late father. Hywel Bennett guest stars, with John Thaw
