Eleven years ago, Maple Close was scarred by a horrific crime.
Three teenage girls who lived on the secluded cul-de-sac were mutilated and killed in what became known as The Wise Monkey Murders. Their neighbour, seventeen-year-old Zara, was found guilty. Incarcerated in a psychiatric facility, she hasn't spoken since.
Now, true-crime podcaster Daisy retreats to her grandfather's home on the close, following a brutal attack. But she can't lie low for long. Zara's mother has never believed her daughter capable of such violent crimes, and wants Daisy's help.
Reluctantly, Daisy begins to dig into the dark history of Maple Close and its residents for a new podcast series... and soon uncovers secrets that were buried for a reason.
Someone is watching her. Someone knows she's getting too close.
And someone will do anything for revenge.
Because in Maple Close, the past isn't finished with Daisy.
And neither is the killer...
