About The Event
Samantha has just broken up with Rohan, her partner of six years, when she is suddenly and very publicly abducted. Rohan, who was struggling to deal with the breakup, instantly becomes the prime suspect. With the entire world watching, and with police, media and public scrutiny focused squarely on him, Rohan miraculously finds and rescues Samantha hundreds of kilometres away and is lauded worldwide as a hero. As the manhunt for Samantha’s captors intensifies, Rohan's rescue comes under scrutiny, as focus shifts to how Rohan could possibly be behind Samantha’s abduction, and whether or not a genuine miracle has actually taken place.
