When five-year-old Lily begins displaying behaviours no preschooler should, her concerned parents are urged to seek professional help. Lily is taken to forensic psychologist, Diana Price, who has recently relocated to the subtropical coastal town of Baroogah – a place steeped in childhood memories and long-buried truths.
Diana is skilled at helping people face the things they don’t want to know, especially when it comes to the aftermath of violence and abuse. As she works with Lily to understand the little girl’s behaviours, Diana fears there is an ongoing threat from someone close to the child. But the deeper she delves into Lily’s world, the more she uncovers about the tightly woven community around them – and about her own family’s silenced history.
When the lines between past and present begin to blur, Diana must confront what it really means to protect a child – and face truths from her own family’s past that she doesn’t want to know.
