'How far will one person go for family? Ex-air force pilot Ricky Winger and his brother-in-law Ted stumble across an underground people trafficking racket at an abandoned airfield in Phoenix, run by a ruthless Mexican cartel. When they kill Ted, Ricky infiltrates the cartel's ranks hell-bent on retribution. Now the cartel has kidnapped his sister and mother for ransom, and the only way to keep them alive is to unlock an age-old family secret to find a stash of money hidden in far-off Australia during a WWII plane crash. Ricky's only chance to find the money is to re-build the rocky relationship with his estranged father, an agoraphobic war veteran living reclusively in the Australian bush, who holds the secret to its location. Sassy, risk-taking undercover detective Sol Ramirez has only ever had one agenda as she climbed the U.S. police ranks - to track down the men who gunned down her parents and trafficked her into child prostitution. With her own personal agenda to avenge her parents' deaths, can she keep her promise to Ricky to keep his family safe while he is away or will the cartel carry out their threat to send Ricky's family home to him in pieces?'

'Australia's most infamous murdering bushranger, Ned Kelly, has been dead for more than 100 years since he was hanged in Old Melbourne Gaol. Now it seems he's back from the dead - and he can't stop killing! He starts with the four youths who stole his skull from the museum as part of a teenage prank. They're grown men now, and one by one they're picked off and 'hanged by the neck until dead', just as Kelly was. Felicity Simons, the one girl in on the teenage prank, is now a history lecturer at Australia's oldest university. When warning messages from Kelly start to appear she embarks on a quest to grant his dying wish, hoping to put mad Ned's spirit to rest. But has Ned Kelly really returned, or is there a real killer out there? As the police begin to hunt the killer, Felicity soon discovers she could be his next victim...'
