Synopsis: DNA

It's eight weeks after Garth has died and dropped a bombshell on the lives of Alexia and Helen, who, up until this point, have been close friends. With Alexia's arrival back in Sydney, and the prior wrapping of the IA investigation into Garth's death, finding Alexia had fired in self defence, everything seems set to go back to normal - except between Alexia and Helen, whose relationship is now altered.

With the current spate of murders in Pyrmont-Ultimo becoming linked to similar murders of disembowlment, Alexia feels like the murders are mirroring the way she feels. An investigation into a baby theft 25, 26 years ago finds Alexia thrown together with Helen for a few days, her biological mother, who thought that she was dead, and the discovery that her father is not, as she thought it would be, Helen's husband, but a drug dealer, and Alexia is the result of an affair. This all leads to Alexia having a conflict of identity, one which could have dire affects on her current relationships and life.
