'A burning house in the middle of the mountains connects three people in a strange adventure of love, murder, revenge and renewal.
'Oliver Is one of Australia’s most successful artists, but he can no longer paint, and he doesn’t know why. With each passing day his life is becoming ever more chaotic and self-destructive.
'Helen is an ex-cop whose forced retirement was untimely. Now obese and suffering from chronic fatigue, she is fast losing hope that her life has anything more to offer.
'Lily finds herself in an amnesic fugue – empty of a past and empty of identity. All she remembers is she is an acrobat in a circus which apparently doesn’t exist.
'Lily drifts into the lives of Oliver and Helen, becoming Oliver’s muse and lover, and reviving Helen’s damaged heart.
'When Lily is found dead, an unlikely friendship develops between Helen and Oliver, as together they head to the mountains to unravel the mystery of who Lily was … and who might have killed her.'
