Summary

The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. Jo Ainsley has been running for a long time. From her childhood in small-town England to art school in London to the messy end of a relationship in Sydney, Jo has chosen to run again and again. This time, her escape will bring her to the remote northwest region of Western Australia, where she must work for 88 days on a farm in order to extend her visa. There she meets an American, Gabe, with whom she has an immediate connection. He tells her of an idyllic off-grid community in the bush which seems like a refuge. Miserable, desperate and traumatised by a brutal event at the farm, Jo decides to run. But the paradisal free diving haven that embraces her without judgement harbours some sinister secrets - and so does Gabe. Jo searches for answers, but is she prepared for what she uncovers? She must decide whether she is ready to confront the darkness of her past, because only the truth of what happened then can save her now
