Storylines
The show's biggest storyline during its short run was the mystery of the crash which killed four people and put its driver Craig Palmer in a coma. The car crash gave Craig amnesia, but then he remembered Angela McKinnon, his girlfriend and one of the people who died in the crash, was doing drugs at the party and some of her drugs were accidentally consumed by John, Craig's best friend and another person who died in the crash. He also remembered as John had overdosed Angela was screaming at someone in a car, and after the crash their phones were stolen by someone Craig would meet later during the investigation, Detective Sam Wiley. Sam claimed he was doing detective work at the party. Craig was found guilty but after a testament by Sam, Craig was given a two-year jail sentence, but the judge reduced it to 100 hours of community sentence.
Another storyline was Adam Wilde's relationship with his estranged father, Ben Wilde. His father had spent 15 years in prison for murdering his mother after she said Adam wasn't his. There was even belief that bartender Mick McKinnon, who had an affair with Adam's mother before he was born, was Adam's biological father. After a DNA test, it showed Ben was Adam's biological father.
