When Conrad comes into possession of a map, the race is on for the gold. Breaking away with Mad Dog Morgan, one of the baddest bushrangers roaming the wild, Conrad is soon pursued by the rest of the Wild Boys, Scanlon and the Traps. Meanwhile, with Emilia looking for her missing editor, Mary investigating new business opportunities and Jack probing the deaths on the Old East Road, the net is closing in more ways than one and not everyone is going to come out alive.
