New Zealand 1998. As the century draws to a close, the new digital age is reaching out to the masses. The government is continuing with its fire sale of strategic assets, mobile phones are all the rage, and Vitamin V is the new wonder drug on the market. In Auckland, four dangerous prisoners escape from Paraparemo prison, and in Christchurch, a sinister Doctor is sexually assaulting his patients. Eight years after eluding the British police, Mark has a new identity and a quiet life in a backwater Canterbury town. But when his wife is brutally attacked, Mark's new life begins to seriously unravel. Mark sets out for revenge, but he gets more than he bargained for when the hunt for his wife's assailants leads to the discovery of a criminal conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of the political establishment. Set against the political background of the times, 'The last days at White Cloud Air' is a tale of one man's resolve in a deadly game of blackmail, extortion and murder.
