With the help of his teenage son, Nathan starts asking the tough questions. As the members of the Bright family grieve and struggle to put their lives back together, Nathan tries to let bygones be bygones, knowing that he’s their best chance at untangling Cameron’s perplexing death. A three hour’s drive away, Nathan was Cameron’s closest neighbor, and he knows this unforgiving land like the back of his hand. It’s a mystery that Nathan is determined to unravel. So who-or what-beckoned Cameron out to the middle of nowhere? But he abandoned his trusty four-wheel-drive on a rocky outcrop and struck out on foot. His fully functional vehicle was found stocked with enough food, water, and fuel to last him weeks. Having lived in the Outback his entire life, Cameron was not one to be unprepared for the harsh climate.
