Jax de Loite, a young Australian First Nations girl fresh out of school, lands a role as a junior researcher at NewsLine, a national current affairs TV program. Des Carter, the Executive Producer and an old friend of her father, sees her potential and assigns her to 'The Next Files'. This forgotten archive is filled with public accounts of supernatural events, a legacy of the '90s X-Files craze.
Her first challenge is to interview a Feng Shui master tackling a haunting at the Eight Dragons Restaurant. Unfamiliar with Chinese culture, Jax teams up with Doc Lee, a half Filipino, half Chinese science student who doubts the supernatural. Together, they explore the unexplained.
In 'Min Min', the second story, Jax and Doc investigate a sensational report: US Scientist Abducted by Min Min Lights. Jax suspects alien forces, while Doc seeks a scientific angle. Their search takes them to Pine Gap near Alice Springs, where Jax delves into the enigmatic Dreamtime for answers.
