This true crime story begins with the mystery of 18 year old Trudie Adams' disappearance 40 years ago. It leads our investigators to the dark heart of Australia: high-level corruption, cover-ups, drug deals and many murders.

Investigative journalists Ruby Jones and Neil Mercer probe the police investigation into Trudie Adams' disappearance and 14 attacks that took place in the same area around the same time.

Investigative journalists Ruby and Neil return to the bush near Barrenjoey Road where violence and sexual assaults took place in the months before Trudie disappeared. They uncover new evidence and compelling leads.
