Synopsis

Despite having excellent witness descriptions of possible suspects, vain and uncompromising police detective Fred Andrews becomes increasingly frustrated by his lack of success into a traumatic series of missing persons investigations.   Fearful that he is replicating the errors of a previously botched-up police investigation, narcisistic Andrews deduces that a mysterious white van is the key to unwinding this growing police debacle, and more importantly the platform for his own meteoric rise throught the ranks. As the number of abductions increase, key suspects are progressively eliminated, egos clash and tempers fray until the self-centred detective eventually zeros in on his nemesis. In the final confrontation, Andrews realises that capturing the psychotic killer will almost certainly rocket his career, but it will fail miserably, to bring true justice to the missing souls.
