Nach einer falschen Verdächtigung liegt das Leben von Ted Conkaffey in Trümmern: Das ganze Land hält ihn für den Vergewaltiger des Mädchens, dem er vor zwei Jahren zufällig am Rande eines Highways begegnet war. Von seiner Familie verlassen und vom Polizeidienst suspendiert, lebt er seit dem Vorfall zurückgezogen in der düsteren Kleinstadt Crimson Lake.

Sechs Minuten, für die er kein Alibi hat - mehr braucht es nicht, um das Leben von Detective Ted Conkaffey vollständig zu ruinieren. Die Anklage gegen ihn wegen Vergewaltigung der dreizehnjährigen Claire wird zwar fallengelassen, doch alle Welt glaubt zu wissen, dass er schuldig ist. Um der gesellschaftlichen Ächtung zu entgehen, zieht sich der Ex-Cop nach Crimson Lake im Norden Australiens zurück und trifft dort auf Amanda Pharrell. Auch diese saß wegen eines angeblichen Verbrechens im Gefängnis.

Als der achtjährige Richie scheinbar spurlos aus einem Hotelzimmer verschwindet, übernehmen die Ermittler Ted Conkaffey und Amanda Pharrell die Suche nach dem vermissten Jungen. Und begeben sich dabei selbst in große Gefahr.

Ted Conkaffey, Ex-Cop und unschuldig unter Verdacht, eine 13-Jährige entführt zu haben, kann seine Vergangenheit nicht loswerden. Als der Vater des Opfers in Crimson Lake auftaucht und Vergeltung fordert, bleibt ihm keine Wahl: Er muss den wahren Täter finden - koste es, was es wolle. Währenddessen ist seine Privatdetektiv-Partnerin, die geniale, einst wegen Mordes verurteilte Amanda Pharrell, mit einem anderen Fall beschäftigt: dem Doppelmord an zwei Mitarbeitern einer üblen Kneipe, der zunächst wie ein simpler Raubmord aussieht.
