Synopsis

A standalone psychological thriller centred on a family with a buried secret. On the surface, the narrator and her husband Donovan appear to have everything: a loving marriage, two adorable children and a dream house. But beneath their enviable lifestyle lies a secret from the narrator's past that binds them more tightly than their wedding vows. When the truth threatens to surface, the couple travel to Ireland to find the one woman who has the power to shatter their perfect family, and the narrator is prepared to do whatever it takes to silence her. Posing as ordinary tourists, they arrange a private tour with a travel agent, Shannon, while harbouring dark intentions of their own. But their plan goes horribly wrong, and the stakes turn catastrophic when their eight-year-old son, Barnaby, goes missing during the trip. A fast-paced, twist-filled thriller that turns a dream holiday into a parent's worst nightmare.
