'Detective Ryan Gregorian, colleagues and friends, Alan Dawson and Christian Masters, are on their way back home from a holiday in Vincentia, NSW. Their departure is put on hold due to blazing bush fires, road closures, fuel shortages and the discovery of an unidentified body in the next door villa.
'Due to the bushfires, the three detectives hold the fort and ensure the crime scene is not disturbed, until the local police arrive. Deprived of the usual technological aids and the presence of a forensic team; the three detectives resort to guesswork and door knocking which results in the discovery of a second body. They reluctantly enlist the assistance of tourists to contain the crime scene.
'Though anxious to get home, they don’t want to leave until the two murders are solved. Racing against time, the detectives sift through the abundance of seemingly unrelated clues. Can they solve the case before the roads open or will they leave two dead bodies and two unsolved crimes behind?'
