'Conway Enmore isn’t your average detective hell bent on justice and solving cases. He’s got a server [sic] anxiety about leaving his natural surroundings of St. Kilda and is on enough illegally prescribed painkillers to have him locked up for good. With the disappearance of a young girl named Betty Hall, Enmore is sent on the trail of her chaotic path of sex, drugs and exploitation across the corrupt city of Melbourne. With the help of a homeless man named Terry who mysteriously reappears at the most convenient times and the guidance of his therapist Dr Joel Swartz can Enmore find Betty Hall before the town robs her of her innocence?'
