Garland Cove

Shane Croft, part-time crim, moved with his wife from Melbourne to the coastal town of Garland Cove to make a fresh start. Instead, he became the reluctant informant of corrupt detectives, Terry Patterson and Michaela Green. Shane's one chance: gather evidence against them for a covert investigation in return for immunity from prosecution. However, suspecting they are under scrutiny, Patterson and Green decide to stage a fake robbery. Patterson plans to arrest the robber in the middle of a bank job, believing that positive media attention will derail the corruption investigation. Shane must set up the job. Despite his perfect planning, the bank job goes horribly wrong. Now Shane is persona non grata to the good guys and the corrupt coppers are hell-bent on killing him...
