What happens when you face your past? Can life ever be the same?
Emily has it all; a successful career, enviable lifestyle, her own flat in London. Exactly the way she wants it.
Then a call from her father in Australia threatens everything - her Mother is dying. Emily reluctantly returns to her family in Melbourne she's avoided for twenty years. Her protected life unravels as she confronts her unhappy childhood and her bullying father, and reconnects with brother Ben who struggles with his own demons.
Memories and long held secrets surface, and Emily questions her assumptions about her family and even herself. Defences she once depended on fall apart. Emily tries to support Ben as he spirals downwards but there are devastating consequences.
This is an intense story about finding courage and strength in dark places. How the long fingers of grief, emotional abuse and loss reach into the lives of everyone involved. About how dealing with a past you'd rather forget can bring release.
