They’re good people.
They just have a few secrets.
And one of them is hiding a body.

When Lou discovers a long-abandoned mining town for sale deep in the Australian bush, it seems like the perfect escape. Along with her sister and their oldest friends, she dreams of creating a private retreat where their families can reconnect with nature, leave their problems behind, and give their children a life beyond screens.

But trouble starts before they even arrive.

A freak accident on the road. A hostile neighbour. Unwelcome squatters living by the river.

Then someone dies.

What begins as a tragic accident quickly spirals into something far darker. As the group struggles to keep the truth buried, long-hidden secrets begin to surface: lost jobs, illicit schemes, betrayals, affairs, and financial deception.

Because hiding a body is one thing.

Keeping a secret is another.

As suspicion grows and loyalties fracture, the friends discover that the people they trust most may be the ones with the most to lose.
