Created by acclaimed Australian showrunner Tony Ayres, known for his work on “Fires,” “Clickbait,” and “Stateless,” the story follows Kieran Elliott, whose life was forever changed when two people drowned and a young girl disappeared in his coastal hometown of Evelyn Bay. Now, fifteen years later, as he returns with his family, long-buried guilt resurfaces.

Directed by Cherie Nowlan and Ben C. Lucas, the series promises to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances.
