En varm vårkväll försvinner Kim Gillespie från en festival i den lilla staden Marralee i södra Australien. Kvar bland alla människor på festivalområdet står barnvagnen med hennes nyfödda dotter Zoe. Ett år senare är Kim fortfarande borta och försvinnandet kastar långa skuggor över familjens och vännernas tillvaro. En ny upplaga av stadens lokala mat- och vinfestival är på gång och en av gästerna är Aaron Falk – till vardags federal utredare i Melbourne. Som vän till Kims före detta svåger kommer han i kontakt med fallet och kan inte låta bli att engagera sig. Aaron inser snart att allt inte är som det verkar. Lögner och förtärande bitterhet kommer upp till ytan, och det blir allt tydligare att Kim inte hade någon i sitt liv som hon kunde lita på. I översättning av Maria Lundgren.

Framför dem ligger den tredje brodern Camerons kropp, det är uppenbart att han mött en plågsam död under den obarmhärtiga solen. Vad fick honom att ge sig ut ensam till den gudsförgätna platsen? Medan familjen sörjer brottas Nathan med frågetecknen kring Camerons död och mörka hemligheter nystas upp. Om någon tvingat Cameron in i döden är listan över misstänkta på den isolerade farmen inte särskilt lång.
