On June 20th, 1994, five members of the Bain family were found dead in their Dunedin home. Robin, Margaret, Arawa, Laniet and Stephen were all killed leaving a single member of the family alive, eldest son, David Bain. The atrocity captured the nation, and it remains one of New Zealand's most controversial cases. This dramatised version tells the story of each of the family members in the months leading up to their deaths.

During a murder investigation at Queenstown's infamous One Lane Bridge, ambitious young Maori Detective, Ariki Davis, inadvertently reawakens a spiritual gift that endangers the case, his career and his life.

In Wellington, Lily is a wallflower, inexplicably attracted to Jerrod, a loser. He's nursing a decade-long grudge against someone who teased him in high school; she's just out of a job. She goes home with him to a seacoast town where he intends to have it out with his nemesis; she meets his father, his daughter from a one-night stand, and other family members - and there's the memory of his talented (and dead) brother. Jerrod treats Lily badly, invents a relationship with a women he had a crush on years before, and gears up for his fight. Will she finally have enough and go home?
