When warning messages from Kelly start to appear she embarks on a quest to grant his dying wish, hoping to put mad Ned's spirit to rest. But has Ned Kelly really returned, or is there a real killer out there? As the police begin to hunt the killer, Felicity soon discovers she could be his next victim...
