Blue Mountains
In this brand new Aussie drama, the members of Australia's most elite rescue unit rely on courage, mateship and extreme skills as they risk their lives to save others. Two teenagers have gone missing overnight from a school camp in the Blue Mountains. Did they run away? Or is there something more sinister afoot? Rescue Special Ops are called in to do a sweep of the rugged terrain and they discover one of the teenagers, shaken and cold. But he can’t, or won’t, say what happened to his girlfriend. And that’s not the only secret the Mountains are hiding.
