Two little girls from Charters Towers in Far North Queensland are abducted during the night and vanish. Torn and bloodstained remains of one girl's dress are found on a remote roadway. There is no ransom demand and no contact by the girls or their abductor. After almost 2 years missing, the Coroner gives a finding that both girls are dead. Ben Hood is hired by one of the distraught mothers to go over the available evidence. Ben isn't used to working by normal investigative rules so buried secrets are quickly unearthed and a dangerous search begins for the girls, dead or alive.
