As Clyde investigates, clues lead him to one of Australia’s most famous silent screen actors, a man who, together with his murdered father, becomes intrinsically linked to the mass murder, known as The Killing at Candal Creek.

She is adamant that the visitation was real and visits Clyde asking him to investigate the mass murder her brother was supposed to have committed.

Then, one night, Lan receives a cryptic text message that leads him into the clutch of a sinister being. However, when Morrissey suddenly disappears, Lan is left to fend on his own. As he searches for clues-anything that will lead him to answers, he must rely on a strange and mysterious student-Morrissey, who is a ghost and the only one who seems to know what is going on. The only thing for sure is that no one has seen Marko since that night. Time passes and he hasn’t come any closer to solving the mystery behind if Marko had drowned or not. He begins doubting if he ever saw the corpse at all. He is left confused and suspicious of all those around him. Frightened, he leaves to get help, but when he returns to the scene, the corpse is nowhere to be found. Swimming prodigy, Lan Basin, discovers the body of swim team captain, Marko Pollock, face down in Morrissey’s Pond.
