Who is ''jaymartin''? And who is this girl? Red doesn't know who she is or what has happened to her. She doesn't know what has caused the devastation all around her. Rescued from the mud by Peri, Red discovers that she's in Sydney in the aftermath of a terrible hurricane. Chaos is all around as the emergency response struggles to get to grips with the dead, injured and displaced. Through the noticeboard at the rescue centre, Red and Peri discover that she has a name. And a father. And a frightening secret.

|summary=There is nothing worse than two people who constantly argue, like brother and sister Will and Lissy. Well, actually there are – two people who constantly argue and who need hearing aids but carefully ignore that fact, like their grandparents. The siblings are expecting a regular trip away – fancy clothes and fancying boys for her, swotty things for him, but no – the recession means their closest approximation to a summer break is to repair and put right the oldster's bach – summer home, if you like. What's more, they'll be paid for it. But is any amount of money suitable payment for the primitive horrors to come?
