Detailed Synopsis

Tracy Hocking is dreaming that she is walking through a storm drain tunnel when she comes across some Aboriginal Dancers. The Aboriginal Dancers disappear and Tracy goes further into the storm drain which leads to a cave. She walks into the cave and the The Kadaicha Man dances and then his face turns into a skull and he gives Tracy a kadaicha stone and she wakes up. She turns on her lamp and finds the stone from the dream nearby. A Franky Boland?Radio Host gives a report on a gang attack and the performance of the Salvation Army at the Carabingy shopping complex. Gail Sorenson accidentally steps in Hannibal's food bowl. Alex Sorenson says good morning to Gail and she complains about him feeding Hannibal in the kitchen. Matt Taylor picks up Gail in his car and they pick up Tracy. They go to school and turn their assignments in to Mrs. Millhouse. Tracy tells Gail, Matt, Fizz Dryden, and Shane about her dream. 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, Tracy and Tony are kissing when she tells him that she is late going home. She tells Jeff Cross and Deb that they need to leave and to get into the car. Tony drops Tracy and Deb off at Deb's house. Gail sees Alex on his date with Gloria and tells him that she is going to Fizz's house. As Tracy is walking home from Deb's house, she is attacked and killed by a dingo. Gail hears Tracy scream and tells Alex who goes to take a look with her and Gloria. They then find Tracy's body. Alex is questioned by by the police and Constable Todd sees Gail pick up the Kadaicha stone and tells her to leave it where its at. Franky Boland has a dream similar to the one Tracy had and wakes up with a Kadaicha stone on his pillow. The next day at school, the students talk about Tracy's murder. Franky 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 Nillinudgel 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.
