When his partner arrives, Gary is found drowned near his research camp. Did he fall and hit his head, or did a more sinister event occur? The partner and Belle start to compile Gary' s research. Gary' s documents are not complete and someone has broken into his cottage, taking a camera and laptop. When Gary' s partner is poisoned by carbon monoxide and Belle nearly dies and hospital deaths confirm she had been given a date-rape drug, they realize that these are no accidents. A clipping of Gary's about poisoning on remote reserves leads Belle to revisit the place of Gary' s demise to collect water samples. Seconds after setting off, they are pursued at gunpoint. In a rapidly escalating and dramatic denouement, they must paddle into the deep bush, with no way back. |
