Synopsis

Fifteen years ago, a terrible storm hit the remote Tasmanian seaside town of Evelyn Bay. Teenage football hero Kieran Elliott lost his revered older brother, Finn, and shy, younger outsider Mia Chang lost her best friend, Gabby Birch, whose body was never recovered. The respective families, the community of friends, and the town itself became haunted and defined by these immeasurable losses. Now, in a relationship and living in Sydney, Kieran and Mia return to Evelyn Bay with their baby daughter, where a new tragedy – the murder of young visiting art student Bronte Laidler – forces them to confront years of painful secrets, guilt and unresolved grief.
