Starting with a murder scene, The Stockbroker involves a house fire and a stalker. Set on the central coast of New South Wales in 1995, a man is found murdered, and the only evidence is one fingerprint. Jason, a local businessman whose previous boss had a shady past, is establishing a thoroughbred stud in the countryside. A fire burns the timber for his fences and stables. He meets Gertrude, who pretends to be a school-leaver. The two fall in love, but she won't tell him about her background. One night they go fishing and see a stalker. The stalker breaks into Gertrude's apartment and wrecks the place, so she moves in with Jason. Then the stalker breaks into Jason's home and stabs the dog. A local investigator hears someone is coming to look at Jason's home that is going to be sold. He tries to warn Jason without any luck, and after notifying the police, he goes to the house where he confronts the stalker. Who is the stalker and why is Jason being targeted? John A.
