Homicide detective Joseph Lind (Joe) of the Sydney Police Department in Australia and his partner Shirley Anne embarked on a thrilling investigative journey in the face of a series of complicated cases.
At the beginning, a retired special forces soldier was performing a shocking operation that shocked the country at the end of his life. His "last shot" accidentally missed, leaving a mystery behind.
Joe and Shirley investigate a 45-year-old case. A young girl, Beverly Priest, mysteriously disappeared many years ago, and her bones were only recently discovered by chance. They successfully captured the murderer who had been at large for 45 years, and the evidence was conclusive, but the trial did not proceed as scheduled.
Immediately afterwards, they were involved in a murder case against the leader of an illegal speeding party.

There may be a larger conspiracy hidden behind this, and the tentacles of this conspiracy may have extended into the police station.
