A dead teenager. An exclusive community. Was it really an accident?

When Sudanese-Australian student Aro Chol is found dead at the foot of the prestigious Chilton Hill estate, local journalist Audrey Lord is first on the scene. Residents claim he was trying to break in. The police suspect a fall. At police request, Audrey agrees to report it as an accident-for now.

But Aro was no criminal. He was a bright student with big dreams-not someone who'd throw his future away for a petty crime. Sneaking into one of the wealthiest, most tightly secured homes on the Mornington Peninsula doesn't add up.

As Audrey digs deeper, she uncovers a web of buried tensions among Chilton Hill's elite, within Aro's former community, and even inside his own family. With race tensions rising and public pressure mounting, everyone has something to hide and everyone wants to control the story.

She wants to give Aro's family answers. But if she's wrong, it could cost her career and leave a killer free to strike again.
