After Shane's parents separate, he goes to live with his father in a caravan on an old closed-down, isolated bush school. There is something disturbing about Shane's neighbours, Clarry and his teenage daughter, Ellie, who daily pushes a pram with a doll in it up and down the dirt road past the old school.
Shane's father, concerned about his safety, gets him a dog. Caddy is an ex-police dog and starts finding bones. At first they are believed to be the bones of a wild animal, but when Clarry becomes agitated by the finds Shane realises there's more to Clarry's past than Clarry cares to admit.
