Void

She sits alone in an empty cell.

They say she killed her lover, fed his body to the crocodiles.

She will tell no one what happened on that last fateful day.

She knows an awful secret but will hide it forever.

It is this man's diary. She has hidden that too.

There is a buried box which no one must find.

The search gets closer. She must stop them.

One person, a good friend, could help her.

But now he and his helicopter have vanished.

It was in a vast empty wilderness where nobody goes.

Soon after helicopter wreckage is found floating in the sea

There was a huge flood. He is presumed dead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English backpacker, Susan, is on trial for murder in Australia .

She refuses to say what happened. She is trapped within a jail cell and inside her mind in a place of guilt, horror and emptiness.

Her only companion is a dark creature, a spirit of an ancient crocodile, which inhabits her dreams.

Is there any way out for Susan. She is determined to plead guilty to protect her child from the deeds of the father. She refuses to reveal what occurred. She awaits conviction and sentencing, expecting to spend her life in jail.

But the detective who discovered Susan's identity continues to seek the truth. He knows there must be another story to explain why. He must discover the past of this man she murdered to unlock the secret. The rest of officialdom just wants to lock this girl up and throw away the key.

As time ticks away towards the trial, Susan's sanity is falling apart - guilt for what she has done, lonely depression at the prospect of years in prison without her child. She lost hope when the helicopter vanishes and lives inside herself in her own empty place. Yet she must still keep alive the fathers good legacy for the sake of the child.

In her mind she sees an escape, she will return to her lover and his crocodile spirit - end it all and be free of this misery.

Her friends and the detective suspect her suicide plans. They are desperate to help but powerless to protect her from herself. They must keep seeking truth. It is a race against time. Can the truth be uncovered before the trial ends.
