David's investigation work expands into finding lost pets for family. One day by chance, he realises his neighbour's new constantly barking dog is a friend's beagle that has been taken from its home in Canberra, 1,000 kilometres away.
While spending a weekend in Canberra after returning the dog, he notices a lot of advertisements for missing beagles in the town where he is staying. He follows his instincts and comes upon an organised operation that catches and breeds beagles for animal product testing.
In a moment where his life is in danger, he is saved by an unexpected hero.
