Summer, Sydney, 1978. Jane is in awe of her older cousin: Angie's only fourteen, but she's already making waves in their tight beachside community with the promise of who she's about to be. But Angie is murdered, devastating Jane and shattering her family. They retreat into a broken silence, unable to come to terms with the horror of a life cut so short. Thirty years later, Jane has a family of her own-but she still feels the pull of that old tragedy. When a reporter with an agenda turns up asking questions, Jane can finally give voice to her emotions-but the picture that emerges is even darker and more troubling than she had recognised. As the truth comes into terrible focus, Jane is forced to question everything she once believed-and fight to hold onto whatever is left.
