  🐔 Farmer Clara McCluck's free-range egg business is scrambling when her prize-winning rooster is found dead under mysterious circumstances in her supposedly haunted henhouse. The local police blame foxes, but Clara knows better—especially when the ghost of her great-grandmother, the original Mrs. McCluck, appears with a warning about "foul play." Teaming up with her spectral ancestor and her unusually intelligent chickens, Clara discovers someone is trying to sabotage her farm to make way for a commercial poultry operation. From tampered feed to suspicious footprints in the coop, every clue points to someone in their small farming community. But with a dozen potential suspects—including a rival farmer, a pushy land developer, and the strangely nervous new veterinarian—Clara and her ghostly partner must work around the clock to crack the case. As they get closer to the truth, the living Mrs. McCluck realizes the ghost might be hiding secrets of her own, and the chickens might be the only witnesses who know what really happened that fateful night in the henhouse.

  Truth is like a lens we apply to everything we see, it is malleable and transformative, we can bend it, mould it, shape it, vanish it. We do this to present the versions of ourselves we want the world to see, and to hide the versions we can't bear to reveal. 
   
  Newly returned to Western Australia, journalist Amy Rhinehart pitches a crime podcast to increase her radio station's ratings. Her idea: to use the listeners of the show as its co-creators, with live-time calls and suggestion boards. The case: Jonah Scott, charged and imprisoned for life for the murder of his girlfriend, transgender woman Casey Williams. 
  Jonah went to great lengths to hide the body - but when arrested, confessed immediately and pleaded guilty, negating the need for a trial. Amy believes there is something darker at the heart of this case and sets about finding the truth, investigating a world of drugs, sex, gender identity and religious cults. 
  Threaded through the main narrative, the podcast transcripts represent a story-within-a-story, exploring the characters of Jonah and Casey and the relationship between them, interwoven with Amy's investigation into the cult run by Jonah's family and its potential involvement in Casey's murder.
