Description
Di Morrissey returns to her roots with a heartfelt tale of secrets, mystery and community in an idyllic Sydney waterway, inspired by her childhood home of Pittwater.
A secluded, peaceful and diverse waterside community faces turmoil as corporate greed threatens to undo generations of heritage and tradition. Tensions mount as the community's way of life is threatened.
Meanwhile, in the city, Dominic Cochrane is at a crossroads. He is made redundant and retreats to the quiet Sydney bay.
Far from being the relaxing break he expected, Dom quickly becomes embroiled in a tragic family mystery as money sharks circle treasured old family homes.
As Dom investigates, secrets are exposed and old wounds reopened. Can he unravel what really happened so many years ago, or have the secrets been swept away on the dark night tide?
