Probationary Constable, Gina Palumbo, is looking forward to an impromptu visit to The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

Arranged by her girlfriend, Tara, it's a chance for her to unwind before reporting for her first day of duty.

Her plans are thrown into chaos after a strange and unsettling encounter with their friend's neighbour. The elderly lady introduces herself as Sylvia, only child of Daryl Jacob Thompson, notorious murderer who tortured and killed eight women in the 1970s, burying them in his orchard in rural Victoria.

Gina soon finds herself enmeshed in the story of Sylvia's horrific past, until she begins to question the potential impact of such violence and terror on a person's psyche.

As Sylvia's tale races toward its deadly conclusion, Gina must draw on all her internal resources to discover the truth before it is too late.
