Is there a proper way to do anything these days? Ben is an extremely laid-back young man. He spends his days between driving for Uber and hanging out with friends; by night, he is a stand-up comedian, using his personal life as the raw material for the jokes. Occasionally, he will meet a girl who charms him, but somehow, he fails to pursue the romance any further.

The only truth lies within, but uncovering the truth can be deadly. Director Ivan Sens Goldstone picks up where Mystery Road (Cinequest, 2014) left off. Aboriginal Detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) arrives at Goldstone, a frontier mining town in the middle of the desert, in search of a missing person. However, the investigation stirs things up, and the townsfolk arent too thrilled by having him there. As he digs deeper, it becomes apparent the town had an unsavory history of nepotism and crime.
