Description
Human remains are discovered in a remote forest. A group of old friends know exactly who they belong to.
When police uncover human remains in regional Victoria, a decades-old secret begins to unravel. The locals are shocked. The investigators are baffled.
But one group of friends is terrified.
Because they know what happened.
It began in 1999, when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home and dragged his friends into a chain of events that would change their lives forever. For twenty years, they've kept the truth buried.
Now the past is catching up with them.
As the investigation closes in, long-hidden lies, guilt, and betrayals rise to the surface. And the closer the truth gets, the more desperate they become to keep it hidden.
From the master of the unexpected comes a gripping thriller of friendship, secrets, and the devastating consequences of a single decision.
