'When Detective Senior Sergeant, Susan Prescott and her daughter, Marli, arrive in a rural community to house-sit for relatives, they witness a very public murder within an hour of arrival. Shell-shocked from a tragedy at work and domestic upheaval, the last thing Susan wants is to become involved.

An encounter with an elderly lady causes her fragile confidence to waver; the hint of a long ago murder is not a secret with which she wants to be entrusted. Against her better judgement, she is drawn inexorably into the investigation, surrounded by menacing strangers whose private agendas threaten Susan's safety and soon, her life.'
