'Set in the wilds of Tasmania, Marta [Dusseldorp] will play lead character Stella Heikkinen whose fall from grace is as spectacular as it is life threatening.

'Betrayed by her own company and in immediate danger – single mother of two Stella has no option but to move her young family to the last place on earth anyone would expect. This town isn’t the kind of place they put on postcards, this is a tiny community rife with simmering feuds, crime and sometimes, murder.'
