Ted and Amanda are still trying to get their interrupted lives on track – Ted with his family; Amanda with her emotional demons – when they land a bizarre new case that involves a stolen sportscar, dangerous bikies, and a flaming-hot double homicide.

Ted and Amanda investigate Julian’s neighbours, cane farmers adjoining Family Tree, and discover that they harbour a bitter grudge against Julian over the death of their son… but are they capable of murder?

Amanda and Ted focus on the leaded fuel clue trail, which leads Amanda into danger with a croc-poaching family, while Ted is distracted by the arrival of Lilly… and an unexpected guest.

After an under-the-influence croc poacher climbs naked up a flagpole and falls to his death, Ted and Amanda investigate the source of his mystery drug and follow Julian’s money trail, uncovering family secrets in the process.

Ted and Amanda attend Julian’s eccentric funeral armed with explosive knowledge about Twist and Raph before stopping a potential tragedy at the local Crimson Lake races.

When a body is found floating in a swampy river, strangled and barely-conscious, Ted and Amanda hunt for the attacker to figure out how their case is connected.

The case heats up for Ted and Amanda as they find a second crime scene – the location Julian was murdered – and land in the middle of Twist’s turf war with the duboisia kingpin.

Ted and Amanda save Raph’s life and solve Julian’s murder, only to be faced with rescuing Ted’s family… from a predator who has had Ted in his crosshairs for years.
