If launching a new soap, this would be the opening episode.

Joey and Sean Nolan are planning their sister Janey’s funeral.

Amongst the family politics and cast of characters, is their sister’s husband, Luke, now serving in the special forces.

Once the funeral is over the brothers’ search will begin. For revenge. For justice. For whoever killed Janey.

Doing right is not always doing right by the law.

Highbridge is out in January 2016.
