Episode 1

Aaron Falk returns to his drought-dry Australian hometown and faces an old secret. Thriller read by Richard Goulding.

A family has been brutally killed on their farm outside the small Australian country town of Kiewarra.

It hasn't rained for two years, farms are failing and tensions in the community are running unbearably high. It seems Luke Hadler reached snapping point, killed his wife and child and committed suicide.

When policeman Aaron Falk returns to his hometown for his old friend's funeral, he’s keen to escape again.

He certainly doesn't want to be reminded of the secret he and Luke shared 20 years earlier...
