After a vehicular collision with the enigmatic Jack, Joan's first stop in her (covert and novice) investigation into her husband's betrayal brings them to a waterside paradise where a group of old friends have gathered. Then a tragic death puts a stop to the party. Was it an accidental drowning, or is this idyllic land so intensely beautiful, it's worth killing for?

In a small outback town on New Year’s Eve, Joan’s search for answers about Ian is waylaid when the motorhome runs out of fuel. Taking jobs as waiters, Jack and Joan are drawn into the illegal tobacco trade.

When Jack is struck by a hit-and-run driver, it sparks some unexpected truths and the return of a threat from Jack's past. As Jack recovers, he and Joan track down Ian's long-lost son, who holds the keys to the mystery. But is she ready to put the past to rest? And will the new threat facing Jack see the end of this journey together?
