A weekend spent at the Comino farm turns out to be far more scary than Taya has expected. While planning a joint birthday party, Taya and Chris come across several interesting items in the attic, including a carpet python. Snakes are definitely not Taya's favourite creatures. Taya thinks one of the items she has found can prove the innocence of Uncle George Comino who is in jail for theft. Her persistence annoys Chris, but the hint of a mystery is irresistible for Taya. If George did not take the ruby cross, who did? Who is Bryan? Where is the cross now? Taya has to face one of her greatest fears as she tries to put the clues together. Could you charm a snake?
