Adelaide, 1931. A sinister secret lurks in the midst of the horse racing world. When Frances Palmer's brother becomes the only suspect in a chilling murder at the races, she and her boyfriend Jack, a charismatic night club owner, plus the quick-witted ex-vaudevillian Uncle Sal, must navigate a treacherous path.
Their only hope lies in infiltrating the very heart of the racecourse to expose the true culprit. It's a daring con and the odds are stacked against them, yet their knack for putting on a mesmerising performance, where every move is a clever illusion, becomes their greatest asset.
But in a race against a cunning murderer, nothing is a dead-cert.
