A man drives across the Australian outback, stopping briefly for a bathroom break. After the break, he is chased and run off the road by a cargo truck. The man wakes up in hospital and is interviewed by Probationary Constable Helen Chambers. He has no memory of who he is, why he is there, or what has happened to him. He has a note in his jeans pocket to meet someone at a cafe at a specified time the next day, in a town called Burnt Ridge. Following his only lead, The Man checks out of the hospital the following morning and goes to the cafe. Luci, the waitress, ushers him out of the cafe to go to the bathroom right before a bomb goes off. Billy arrives at the hospital with a bouquet of flowers looking for the man. When Luci is by herself, she deletes photos on her phone taken earlier with the man. The Man retraces his steps in Burnt Ridge and surrounds over the previous days and finds a mobile phone. He receives a call from a man who knows him, and who begs him for help because he's buried alive.
