Indigenous detective Jay Swan arrives in the town of Goldstone to search for a missing person, and his simple duty becomes complicated when he uncovers a web of crime and corruption.

As the police search for Marley and Reese, the early morning interstate bus arrives in Patterson bringing trouble in two forms — Larry Dime, convicted pedophile and Marley's uncle who has been released on parole after 10 years in jail; and Georgia Clarke, a teenager who has seen the news and recognized Reese as her boyfriend Simon, who went missing two years earlier.
