Wealthy stock trader Michael Hunt is a secretive man with a past he’s not even shared with Sonya, his university professor wife. But Sonya is forced to start piecing it together when Michael suddenly goes missing leaving her with millions in debt, a bank foreclosing on their Sydney beach house, and many unanswered questions. And when the global financial crisis erupts, Sonya’s world gets even bleaker. Until she stumbles on some strange files, files that will change her life forever. The keys to repaying her debts, and to finding Michael - at least to why he left, and why he lied. Using the files, Sonya risks everything. Her white-knuckled ride through reeling stock markets, a love-triangle murder and conspiracy takes her from Sydney to Princeton University to ask a famous physicist to help her unlock the mystery. Sonya’s hunt for Michael becomes a search for herself.
