Sydney, 1946. War correspondent Billie Walker is happy to finally be home, but is haunted by the disappearance of her husband, Jack, in Europe. Determined not to rely on any man for her future, she re-opens her late father’s detective agency.
When a young man, the son of European immigrants, goes missing, Billie finds herself on a perilous trail that will lead up into the highest levels of Sydney society and down into it’s underworld. As the danger mounts and Billie realises that much more than one young man’s life is at stake, it becomes clear that though the war was won, it is far from over.
