Synopsis

What Mark and Faye Leveson have endured to find the truth about the mysterious death of their son Matt is unfathomable. For 10 years, they tirelessly searched bushland for his body and doggedly pursued justice in a fruitless attempt to catch the man they believed responsible. That man, Michael Atkins, always denied having any involvement with their son’s disappearance despite the compelling evidence stacked against him. Atkins was, in fact, a pathological liar. But to expose his deceit and achieve their main objective—to find Matt’s body—the Levesons agreed to deal with the devil. In an unprecedented move, Atkins received immunity from prosecution in exchange for revealing where he buried Matt. He also sensationally claimed that Matt wasn’t murdered but instead died of a drug overdose. For Mark and Faye, it’s an unlikely story and one they'll never accept.
