Synopsis

Rafferty Kaminski is a 13-year-old who believes in facts. Not like his Cryptozoologist father, who searches for creatures not proven to exist.

When their father disappears in the Flinders Ranges, strange things start happening. Raff's younger sister Zara receives a warning from a crow about bunyip hunters. A creepy red-handed ranger pursues the children who stow away on a school bus.

Raff is drawn into the weird world of Cryptozoology, as he and Zara follow 'sightings' of creatures Raff doesn't believe in around country Victoria. Will they find their father? And what is the ancient voice that only Raff hears, as they approach the Wombat State Park?
