OverviewWithout warning, Elise was grabbed from behind, arms pinned to her side. She struggled, knocking over the coffee table. The wine glass shattered on the floor. Prawn salad and phone went flying. She caught a glimpse of a black-clad body. Rough arms reached around and stretched duct tape over her mouth. A fresh investigation for police officers Kaylee and Ben. Elise, a young private investigator is kidnapped and hidden in an abandoned farmhouse. Only one man knows where she is and an accident has left him in a coma, fighting for his life. Two families with criminal connections are at the heart of the investigation but they are unwilling to assist the police for fear of incriminating themselves. Can the police work through the clues to find her before it's too late? A story of dishonour, resilience, love and death.
