In this brand new Aussie drama, the members of Australia's most elite rescue unit rely on courage, mateship and extreme skills as they risk their lives to save others.

Two teenagers have gone missing overnight from a school camp in the Blue Mountains. Did they run away? Or is there something more sinister afoot? Rescue Special Ops are called in to do a sweep of the rugged terrain and they discover one of the teenagers, shaken and cold. But he can’t, or won’t, say what happened to his girlfriend. And that’s not the only secret the Mountains are hiding.

As they search for the missing girl, Dean and Lara stumble upon a missing plane, and even more astonishing, a passenger who survived the crash. As Dean bonds with the dying woman, some clever sleuthing by Heidi reveals a bizarre student love triangle.

Jordan's shady past returns to haunt him when his best mate is accused of murder. Then, Dean and Lara take extreme action to rescue a crime boss from his firebombed nightclub, with deadly results. Elsewhere, a friendly bet between Rescue and the Fire Brigade exposes their naked rivalry.

A wedding turns to tragedy when the bride is trapped in a hot air balloon. Dean suspects sabotage when a series of life-threatening accidents hits the Rescue team and Michelle is blackmailed by a hi-tech stalker.

The team is caught in a deadly child custody dispute after rescuing a family from a car crash. Heidi's quest to become a chopper pilot takes a nosedive, and Chase helps Bingo get justice after he is conned by an old schoolmate.

After risking their lives to save a missing kayaker, the team is hunted down by a murderous drug addict in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Also, Jordan and Heidi discover a secret drug lab in a national park.

The heat is on Rescue to locate a missing rock star after a disaster at a music festival. Jordan fights to help Heidi fulfil her dream of becoming a Rescue chopper pilot.

The team is threatened with the introduction of Lifeblood, a privately owned rescue organisation trying to take over their business. It leaves the entire team on edge, in fear of losing their jobs and their future in rescue work.
