Clark Shipton, once a notorious Western Australian with a racist past, lost his daughter Kaitlin to kidnappers when she was just 12 years old. She was his only remaining family following the murder of his wife but when an unexpected friendship with an Indigenous police officer leads to the dismantling of a major human trafficking network, it sparks new hope that Kaitlin might be found.
The media attention attracts two ex-soldiers who specialize in what they call "Recoverance." They've located Kaitlin in a Bosnian brothel, where she is now a heroin addict and not yet sixteen. Despite the eye-watering cost, Shipton hires them and pays a hefty deposit.
The mission to bring her home is complex, but it will become even more challenging when Kaitlin refuses to leave without her two friends. Further complications arise as the WA Police launch a covert investigation into their own internal corruption that facilitated the original trafficking ring.
The lives of Kaitlin, and her friends are placed at greater risk given they may be privy to evidence.
