Senior Constable Dean Pickering is called to a nasty crash where two kids have stolen a car, with their reckless driving leading them to wrap the car around a tree. The driver is trapped in the car and as paramedics frantically try to free the boy, Constable Dean tries to work out just what these kids have been doing. Then, a driver is stopped in Epping for driving an unregistered car and it turns out to be no easy intercept.
