Background

Gail Sorenson is a student at Kangaloola High in New South Wales, Australia. Her father is Alex Sorenson and she is in a relationship with Matt Taylor.

During the events of Kadaicha (1988) played by Zoe Carides

Gail accidentally steps in Hannibal's food bowl. Alex says good morning to Gail and she complains about him feeding Hannibal in the kitchen. Matt picks up Gail in his car and they pick up Tracy Hocking. They go to school and turn their assignments in to Mrs. Millhouse. Tracy tells Gail, Matt, Fizz Dryden, and Shane about her dream with the Aboriginal Dancers, The Kadaicha Man and the Kadaicha stone. Shane takes the stone and tosses it to Deb Hartley who hands it back to Tracy. Mrs. Milhouse asks to see the stone and she tells the class about Kadaicha stones and how if someone was given one then they were condemned to die. Tony Pirello makes a joke about it and Tracy tries to give him the stone.

In the evening time, Gail sees Alex on his date with Gloria and tells him that she is going to Fizz's house. Gail hears Tracy scream and tells Alex who goes to take a look with her and Gloria. They then find Tracy's body. Constable Todd sees Gail pick up the Kadaicha stone and tells her to leave it where its at. The next day at school, the students talk about Tracy's murder. Franky Boland then shows Gail, Fizz and Deb the stone he found. Gail and Fizz ask Mrs. Millhouse more about the Kadaicha stones and she tells them that their neighborhood was built over an aboriginal burial ground. Gail confronts Alex about the neighborhood being on a burial ground, but he denies it. Fizz calls Gail and tells her she found some information while going through newspaper clippings at school.

Gail and Matt go to the school and see newspapers spread out on a table. They read them including an article in which Billinudgel says that the new residents will live under a curse. Fizz asks them what they think about what Billinudgel said and then Franky walks into the room. He tells them that he is going to do research for a while and the others leave. Matt drops Gail and Fizz at home and as Gail is walking to her door, Hannibal starts barking. Billinudgel walks up to Gail and asks to speak to Alex. He tells her that if she stays, more white people will die and then leaves. Gail, Matt and Fizz go to school and see an ambulance and Mrs. Millhouse pulls Gail and Fizz aside and tells them that in the past a group of young Aboriginals were raped and killed by bush rangers. The tribe from where the Aboriginals came from buried them in what is now the location of the neighborhood and then attacked a white settlement. They were then hunted down and killed to the last member. She then tells them if they start telling others about the stones then history might repeat itself.

Gail, Matt, Fizz and Shane go to the beach and they are given a police escort consisting of Constable O'Bersky and Constable Pritchard. Fizz sees the storm drain and remembers it from her dream. They go inside of it, but come to the end of it. They go to swim in the river and while they are swimming, Fizz is attacked by a large eel and dragged away. O'Bersky and Pritchard wade into the water and help the others search for her, but they can't find her. Detective Rose questions Gail and Matt and Matt describes it as a snake or octopus. Fizz's body is then found by O'Bersky and Pritchard. During the night, Gail dreams about the storm drain, the cave and The Kadaicha Man. She calls Matt and they go into the storm drain and break into it with a pick axe and find the cave from the dream. Inside the cave is a skeleton. As they are leaving, they are caught by a Security Guard who brings them to his office and calls Alex. Matt accuses Alex of not telling the authorities about the cave and threatens to call the Heritage Commission. Alex admits that he knew about the cave and eventually gives Gail Billinudgel's address.

Matt and Gail go the address and Lisa answers the door. She at first tells them that Billinudgel isn't there, but then gets him. He tells Gail that once she received the stone, there was nothing she could do as the spirits would follow her. Lisa asks Billinudgel to help Gail and he gives Gail a Spirit stone. As Gail and Matt are leaving, Detective Rose pulls up and asks them if they have seen Billinudgel and they lie and tell him no. At the preparation for the school dance, Gail goes to the restroom and the stall doors start to slam open and shut and the door won't open. The living dead bodies of Tracy and Fizz appear and talk about the dance. Girl No. 1 and Girl No. 2 walk into the restroom and ask each other what they are going to wear to the dance and then leave. Gail runs out of the restroom when a hand grabs at her from the floor drain.

Matt drops Gail off at home so he and Tony can go speak with Billinudgel. Gail hears Hannibal barking and Alex goes to check. When Alex goes into the garage, the door shuts and won't open. Hannibal suddenly stops barking and when Gail checks on him, he is dead in the pool. Matt rings the doorbell and Gail lets him in. Matt's eyes change and he attacks Gail. He starts to choke her and Alex tries to stop him, but Matt tosses him away. Matt suddenly returns to normal. Later, Billinudgel warns Alex that more people will die if the neighborhood stays. Meanwhile a Doctor looks over Matt.
