The Vita Nova group has taken a vulnerable young Andrew (Joshua Hewson) into their care.

Deeply concerned for Andrew’s safety, Justin embarks on a solo rescue mission to bring him home.

But when things don’t go to plan, Justin is attacked, captured and imprisoned.

Back on the bay, a distraught Leah (Ada Nicodemou) enlists Cash’s (Nicholas Cartwright) help to track down Justin.

Both Leah and Cash are acutely aware of the grueling lengths Vita Nova will go to to protect their community, and as the hours go by without Justin in sight, Leah begins to fear the worst.

Will Justin’s failed rescue mission take his life?

Meanwhile, Marilyn (Emily Symons) battles a corrupt skincare company, Stunning Organics.

This fight ends in explosive climax when a mysterious box addressed to her arrives at the diner.

For weeks, Marilyn has received threats, messages and anonymous calls asking her to stop giving interviews speaking out against Stunning Organics.

What the residents of the cove don’t know is that the box contains a bomb.

As Marilyn is slow to pick up the package at the diner, the box wanders across the bay and ends up in the hands of several of her beloved residents – who are completely unaware of the danger they are in.

When the bomb finally activates, a countdown timer will start.

Surf shop owner Mali (Kyle Shilling) learns of the bomb threat and takes action.

With time running out, Mali runs down the street chasing his friends, unaware they have a deadly bomb on board.

Is Mali too late to save them from a terrible fate?

The devastating blast will rock Summer Bay — and one person won’t come home.

Whose life is at stake when the clock hits zero?

Home and away airs Monday through Thursday at 7 p.m. on Kanal 7 and 7plus.
