The fifth season follows a new series of events, as the team begins the search for an armed and abusive man who has tracked down his ex-wife to demand knowledge of their daughter's location. Things get quite complicated as he drags his ex-wife near the edge of the hotel's roof at those moments. Now Ed and the rest of the team face a moral dilemma that reflects what is really going on.
Flashpoint always has a vague Canadianness in its texture - in the seriousness of the act of killing, the lack of swagger with the guns and other weapons... [and] never about solving a crisis with guns blazing.
