In January 2000, 16-year-old Lucy attends a lavish party at the Whitlam estate at Queens Point while staying with her grandmother who is their housekeeper.
She desperately wants to be accepted by the Whitlam children – Anabelle, whose mother Brooke is always critical of how she looks; Harry the free-loving artist, and Mae the aloof organised one.
Now a widow, Lucy is back in town to pack up her late grandmother’s house and is unsettled by an article about human remains found in a washed-up shoe and its possible connections to that summer party all those years ago.
While this debut leaves you with many edge-of-your-seat moments, overall it’s rather disjointed and over-dramatic.
