1st season
The series tells the story of the murder of a young girl in the outback . The girl's friend flees to his teacher after an accident from the perpetrator. The journalist Ned Banks got a video about the accident, his brother, the hacker Jesse, helps to process the video.
It soon turns out that there could be a conspiracy behind this, which extends to the highest political circles.
The focus is on the journalist Ned Banks. He receives information about the possible involvement of political actors, such as the Prime Minister of Australia , and has to rely on his brother Jesse for his research, who, as an autistic, talented hacker, searches the Internet for clues.
In addition to the Banks brothers, the murdered girl's teacher, Alex Wisham, has an increased interest in solving the case. At the center of the political conspiracy are Prime Minister's Advisor Ian Bradley and Chief of Staff Randall Keats.
