Just after midnight, 19-year-old Dean Webber dials triple zero. An injured woman he’s never met before - Candice Locke - had run to his home for help. Within minutes, more strangers arrive at his house looking for Candice. As tensions escalate, Dean’s frantic phone call recordings capture the fear in real time - until, terrified for his life, he reaches for a knife just as the triple zero operator hangs up on him. 

But how did it come to this, when just hours earlier almost everyone involved was celebrating the NRL grand final at a backyard party? The answer almost certainly lies in an ill-fated buggy ride - the moment that set the deadly and baffling events into motion. 

The night is pieced together through police interviews, phone calls and bodycam recordings.
