The year is 1992.
On a whim, reporter Robert Black follows a dubious lead. He meets Yvonne Leviston, a volunteer supervisor at a run-down school. She looks a good bet to pay his bills for a few months, so Robert makes his move.
Yvonne’s project group of 11-year-olds are a nuisance but their work stumbles over an unexpectedly interesting angle. Robert and Yvonne ignore the children and weave their inept way around the edges of a murder trial and potential miscarriage of justice. As the secret starts to reveal itself, potential fame and fortune beckons. Robert distances himself from Yvonne, not wanting to share the glory.
Yet old secrets can be deadly, and someone is tracking Robert’s every move.
Finally, he turns his attention to the children, especially Chantelle, Dean and Sheridan, the trio who have always inexplicably been one step ahead. But is it too late?
