In June 1991, Jaycee Lee Dugard was waiting at the bus stop on her way to school in South Lake Tahoe when a man and a woman pulled up in a grey Ford saloon, jumped out, bundled her into the car and drove off. The kidnap was witnessed by Jaycee Lee's stepfather, who chased in vain after the car. Eighteen years later, on 24 August 2009, an investigation began that would lead to an astounding discovery: Jaycee Lee Dugard was alive and for the last 18 years had been held captive by a notorious sex offender. During her captivity, Jaycee Lee had given birth to two daughters, fathered by the sex offender, Phillip Garrido. Jaycee Lee and her daughters had been kept in a maze of tents and sheds in the back garden of Garrido's home in Antioch, California.

Muslim detective, Zane Malik, is fighting crime in a post 9/11 world, an Australian-Arab man fighting suspicion and fear to prove himself. His nemesis is another detective, Crowley, an old school operator more interested in getting a result than following the rules. Their battle of wills plays out in the series, a quest for dominance that also serves as a metaphor for the fear that exists between the eastern and western worlds. Tonight: Mr and Mrs Ngo have been killed. So who stands to inherit the family wealth? Or should Malik be more concerned with the discovery that Mr Ngo was once a witness of a gangland murder?
