What is Black Snow season 2 all about?
Black Snow season 2 centers on Detective James Cormack's investigation into the sudden disappearance of Zoe Jacobs in 2003. Her case is reopened after the police uncover her backpack with clues to the events of the night she went missing. Samara Kahlil, her best friend and senior constable at the Moorevale Police Force, joins the investigation.
For more than two decades, Zoe was believed to have willingly left town with the $25,000 she inherited from her grandfather on the day she turned 21. However, Cormack's findings take him in a different direction, and he begins searching for her killer instead. All the while, James is also looking for his younger brother, Richie, who is considered to be dead since 1994. But his father tips him off that he is alive and in danger.
