Wilbrook in Western Australia is a sleepy, remote town that sits on the edge of miles and miles of unexplored wilderness. It is home to Police Sergeant Chandler Jenkins, who is proud to run the town’s small police station, a place used to dealing with domestic disputes and noise complaints. All that changes on a scorching day when an injured man stumbles into Chandler’s station. He’s covered in dried blood. His name is Gabriel. He tells Chandler what he remembers.

The small town of Rislake in the picturesque Blue Mountains is about to be engulfed by a major bushfire. The order has been given for the residents to clear out. But a last sweep uncovers one person is missing: Tracey Hilmeyer, wife of one of the firefighters tackling the blaze. Detective Kennard is in town to help with crowd control, but instead he finds himself driving straight towards the inferno to look for Tracey at the Hilmeyer home. When he gets there, he finds her dead at the bottom of the stairs, and it’s clear she was murdered.

The Kane family, Lorcan, Naiyana and their young son, relocate from Perth to Kallayee, an abandoned mining town in the Great Victoria Desert to start over again, free from their chequered past. The town seems like the perfect getaway: peaceful, quiet, remote. Somewhere they won’t be found. But life in Kallayee isn’t quite as straightforward as they hope. There are noises in the earth, mysterious shadows and tracks in the dust, as if the town is coming back to life. But the family can’t leave. No one can talk sense into them. And now, no one can talk to them at all.

Deux suspects. Deux témoignages identiques. Un seul coupable. Une petite ville perdue en Australie. Un officier de police habitué à régler des petits problèmes de vie domestique et querelles de voisinage. Un jour de canicule débarque un homme, couvert de sang. Gabriel déclare avoir été séquestré dans une cabane par un serial killer. Le dénommé Heath a déjà tué 54 personnes. Gabriel est sa prochaine victime. Quand la chasse à l'homme commence, ce même jour de canicule, débarque un deuxième homme. Heath est couvert de sang.

Mi nombre es Gabriel. Un hombre llamado Heath intentó matarme. Él quiere que yo sea el número 55. Mi nombre es Heath. Un hombre llamado Gabriel intentó matarme. Él quiere que yo sea el número 55. ¿Quién está mintiendo? Gardner's Hill es una ciudad remota y tranquila situada en la Australia Occidental. Allí vive el sargento de policía Chandler Jenkins, quien se enorgullece de dirigir la pequeña y tranquila comisaría de policía local.

Der er allerede 54 ofre. Hvem bliver nummer 55? Wilbrook i Western Australia er en søvnig, afsides beliggende by på kanten af en enorm uudforsket ødemark. Her bor politiassistent Chandler Jenkins, og han er stolt af at lede byens lille politistation, hvor man er vant til at håndtere husspektakler og støjklager. Det ændrer sig på en glohed dag, hvor en såret mand kommer vaklende ned på Chandlers politistation. Han er dækket af indtørret blod. Hans navn er Gabriel.

A Wilbrook non c'è quasi nulla. Pochi abitanti, qualche casa, una chiesa. Strade polverose bruciate dal sole, come in un vecchio film western. E lì dietro, sull'altopiano di Gardner's Hill, caleidoscopiche sequenze di alberi e rocce affilate come lame disorientano chi passa; un esperimento di Dio, per mettere alla prova la capacità di adattamento dell'uomo alla natura. Ancora non ci crede, Gabriel, di essere riuscito a scappare.

Når man prøver at starte på en frisk, skal man passe på at man ikke ender i et mareridt.

Familien Maguire - Lorcan, Naiyana og deres lille søn - flytter fra Perth i Australien til Kallayee, en forladt mineby i Great Victoria Desert, for at starte på en frisk, fri af deres brogede fortid.

Byen virker som det perfekte tilflugtssted: fredelig, stille, afsidesliggende. Et sted, hvor de ikke vil blive fundet. Men livet i Kallayee er ikke så enkelt, som de håbede på. Der er lyde fra jorden, mystiske skygger og spor i støvet, som om byen er ved at komme til live igen.
