Amanda Pharrell, an eccentric private investigator with a disturbing criminal past, recruits disgraced ex-cop Ted Conkaffey, to help solve the disappearance of a Korean tech pioneer.

Ted and Amanda's hard work leads to Jong Min's remains being found in the river. Amanda is convinced there's a link between this death, and that of her friend Lars.

Amanda takes a huge risk playing Twist and Bryce off against each other, and uncovers the truth about Lars' death.

Uncovering the truth about Park's death brings little comfort for Ted and Amanda; but Ted's digging into Amanda's past finally pays off, and she is able to confront her demons.

Six months on, Ted and Amanda investigate a bizarre local murder and an exotic drug ring. Amanda tangles with an old enemy and a new love, and Ted's past stalks him and his family.

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 his daughter and an unexpected Kelly.

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

When Brooke is found floating in a swampy river, strangled and barely conscious, Ted and Amanda hunt for her attacker to determine if Julian's murder case is connected.

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