Mason and Katherine live in the Wagga suburb of Tolland with their two-year-old daughter Suzianna. After returning to their house after a night away with friends they find their house has been ransacked and valuables stolen.

Cody’s condition requires constant medical attention - including regular specialist visits as far away as Sydney and Melbourne.
