In the isolated coastal town of Wirramurra Bay, where limestone cliffs meet the relentless Southern Ocean, Detective Jodi Brennan is called to investigate when local fisherman Richard Harlow is found dead at the base of the cliffs.
What initially appears to be a tragic accident quickly reveals something far more sinister when evidence suggests Richard was not alone when he fell. As Jodi delves deeper, she uncovers a web of secret relationships and obsession hidden beneath the town's peaceful facade.
The investigation leads Jodi to Elaine Widcombe, the hardware store owner's wife, whose perfect image conceals a dangerous obsession. When Richard's new relationship with café waitress Lisa Templeton is revealed, the case takes a darker turn, exposing a pattern of stalking and escalating threats.
With the close-knit community closing ranks and taking sides, each revelation tests Jodi's investigative skills and her understanding of the complex relationships that define small-town life. The limestone cliffs that witnessed Richard's final moments hold secrets that powerful community members would kill to protect.
Jodi must navigate local loyalties and professional pressure to read the signs before more lives are endangered, while confronting a killer whose obsession has already turned deadly once.
In this tight-knit coastal community where everyone knows everyone but no one sees everything, justice requires both detective work and an outsider's clear-eyed perspective.
