A stolen vehicle collides with a transport truck in the middle of the desert. Two Aboriginal teenagers in the car are critically injured but nobody called for help because someone involved works for a major stakeholder in a secret research project. The accident would have remained a mystery if it weren't for Ned Banks, a young internet journalist desperate for a break and his brother Jesse Banks, a hacker on a strict good behavior bond.

Ned investigates the truck accident and Jesse confronts the new powers of the law.

Police hunt for Andy King heats up but friends in high places muddy things. Ned and Jesse fall out over Hani.
