'In the small Australian coastal town of Merritt, Alex Tillerson and her mother make a shocking find on the beach, connected to the death of the local art teacher. The police dismiss it as an accident but townspeople aren’t so sure. Could this death be connected to an unsolved murder from years ago?
'Bella Greggs was found dead at the bottom of a ravine next to a river but she died from drowning in salt water. Maxine McFarlane was pulled from the ocean but there was no water in her lungs. Black feathers were found with both bodies but what do they mean?
'Merritt has a long history of being unkind to young women and a habit of burying the truth. It’s a beautiful, wild place where victims and perpetrators live next to one another and good people might have their reasons to look the other way.
'Even if the truth can’t be spoken, will it still make itself known?'
