INSPIRED BY QLD’S WORST RAIL DISASTER
Labour Day 1982 – a ‘super-blue-blood-moon’ looms high in the sky, thirty-five years since it last appeared. Three boys set out on an adventure, exploring the trail of a ghost train long since forgotten. It is also the 35th anniversary of the Camp Mountain train crash, Queensland’s worst rail disaster, which claimed the lives of sixteen people and seriously injured many others.
One of the boys vanishes without a trace. Suspicion lingers. Friendships shatter. Lives are ruined. Years go by. The story fades. A retired detective never forgets.
Labour Day, 2017 – another of the trio goes missing in baffling circumstances. Left behind and searching for answers, Toby Mc Intyre sets out to uncover the truth behind the disappearances of his two best friends, exactly thirty-five years apart to the day. The train crash and the rare lunar event are somehow connected and reveal clues to solve the mystery. An unlikely link to the past holds the key. Toby must sacrifice everything for a chance to be reunited with his friends and to change the course of history.
