An imprisoned serial killer leaves questions and a missing girl for a despised detective to track through a sordid and corrupt 1920's Sydney whose own secrets, lies, and criminal celebrities threaten to engulf anyone who gets too close.

MICHAEL is a dockworker, a drunk and a killer just caught with a witness still at large. He sits in a police interrogation room the morning after his arrest with a string of victims throughout a 1920's Sydney whose only thing in common is him, the man who took their life. WERNER sits on the other side of that table. He's an ambitious detective who caught a lucky break, but didn't need it. He wants this case solved because high rollers have political pull, even if they're dead and everyone loves a hero. As he digs deeper into Sydney's underbelly he begins to learn that while MICHAEL may have done what they say he did, he certainly isn't guilty. With WERNER exhuming a best-forgotten past while hunting a missing person-of-interest no one wants found, MICHAEL turns his attention to the present since what better pool of suspects and informants can be found than in a prison.—Ryan Davies.
