An abandoned military training base hidden in the middle of the Australian outback.

A school teacher and her class, kidnapped in broad daylight.

A ransom demand of two million dollars, three former Australian Army commandos, and a desperate, corrupt politician, all looking for a better life.

Major crime detectives Russell Foley and Sam Rose are assigned to find the hostages, bring them home safe and sound, and capture the kidnappers in the process.

But can Foley and Rose find the teacher and her class before the kidnappers carry out their threat and kill them all? It's a race against time - in some of the most inhospitable country on the planet.
