Ash
Ash is a committed individual – it’s only our good fortune that he falls on the right side of the law.
He would bring just as much commitment to being a wrong’un if that’s how the chips had fallen, and they came pretty close – trouble at home, bad associations and adolescent skirmishes with the law were taking Ash down a well-worn path.
But it was getting together with feisty but responsible girlfriend Lorna that straightened him out and helped him channel his energies into a career with plain-clothes Customs.
There’s no question that Ash has put his background on the wrong side of the tracks to good use. His antenna for the street - the ability to know what crime looks and smells like is unparalleled. It’s his ‘special power’ and the single biggest asset he’d brought both to Customs and now the UNIT. Ash loves the job.
In the early days it was about the excitement but over time, winning the game and securing convictions has become more and more important, the terms by which he defines himself. Joining the UNIT makes the dream of catching the big fish a reality and the bigger the fish, the more Ash instinctively wants to haul it in...
Despite the personal compromises he’s willing to make, with his obsession must come some difficult choices. He’s about to find himself accelerating headlong into the unavoidable truth.
By the time he knows it, is he in too deep...?
