In the early dawn hours of a Sydney morning, five dead male bodies are found in a container in a Qantas hanger, at Kingsford Smith and the victim's faces are so badly burned that police have a hard time figuring out the victim's identity. Only two clues surface: the victims were young Chinese, pieces of paper with symbols around the bodies. PI Matt Murray leaves his beloved dog Zoe and his pet parrot Dwayne at home in Paddington and goes off to investigate the case on commission to the NSW police who ran up against a blank wall. Months passed in fruitless police questioning, in following up leads.

But Inspector Lindley is dissatisfied, and a series of coincidences lead him back to the case, so he calls in a fall guy Australia's number one PI Matt Murray. After sifting through crime evidence Matt had many questions Why did the body have scattered pieces of white paper with symbols around the body? Why was the container locked from the inside? Why did a bar owner leave for home right after Matt spoke to her? Why did a Triad from Sydney's China town, on the verge of telling Matt something important, was found dismembered in a dump truck? What can a group of young university students possibly have to do with the murder of a quiet and "decorated" old ex-detective? Private Eye Matt Murray and his team investigate.
