'Canberra is a quiet, tidy city distinguished as the seat of the government and for harbouring dirty secrets. Frank Phelan should know. Standing outside a toilet block in the bitter cold, he’s about to discover one of them.

'Frank is a crumpled 39-year-old who was cast into the political wilderness 2 years ago by none other than, Australia’s longest-serving Labor Prime Minister, Mr Bill Falco. Now he’s in a dead-end job and not sure what to do next.

'Unexpectedly, he gets a call. Bill wants to see him – he needs a favour. Frank is reluctant. However, following a brutal scuffle on his porch that night with a masked thug, he heads for Sydney to find out what Bill wants.

'April Moreland, an athletic and ambitious journo, knows exactly what she wants. After running into Frank visiting Bill outside the cancer clinic, she fervently hopes Frank can help her get it. They meet up in Nimbin and agree to work together.
But if they thought looking for a missing woman in Nimbin, the grass capital of Australia, would be easy, they were mistaken. They find themselves fighting for their lives against incompetent kidnappers, corrupt cops and a once in hundred-year flood. Meanwhile, someone much more sinister is watching them and their final struggle to find the truth behind the disappearance takes a very lethal turn.'
