It's 2025, and the NSW Deputy Coroner is holding a fresh inquest into the death of Gomeroi teenager Mark Haines, who was found dead on the train tracks back in 1988.
As the inquest hearings spiral over a year a half, new witnesses appear with explosive allegations and police make surprising admissions.
Allan heads to Tamworth and dives back into a story that's gripped him for over a decade.
Will he finally find the answers to this mystery he's been looking for?
