Following Nugan's death, Michael Hand disappears from Sydney. His lawyer fears he has been murdered. But Nugan Hand bank investigators discover he has flown out on a false passport in the company of a former CIA operative, codenamed 'Charlie'.
Six months later, the story takes a stunning turn when Frank Nugan is allegedly seen 'alive' in the United States. Is it Nugan or someone else in his grave? The Attorney General orders an exhumation and a new inquest.
Neither the CIA or the FBI want to assist the Australian investigators get to the bottom of the Nugan Hand bank's operations or help track down Mike Hand. The case becomes so political, the Australian government call a Royal Commission, which finds little in the way of new evidence regarding gun-running or a connection to the CIA. The original investigators brand it a coverup to protect the Australian-US alliance.
