  When burnt-out nurse and wannabe writer, Ella, flees her suffocating life in Melbourne for a housesitting assignment on a remote rural property, she is thrust into a brutal and unfamiliar landscape. Her budding friendship with Tom from the neighbouring property reveals a more tender side to the land, with a vast beauty that penetrates all her defences, and stirs neglected yearnings and unsayable questions. 
  Yet this strange mix of brutality and tenderness also uncovers buried bones of the past, and Ella's stubborn curiosity draws her into a dangerous mystery that has her spinning blind. Has her presence here disturbed more than memories, and will the swirling storm threaten to waken more than the land's red dust?

  Forty-nine-year-old Olivia St. Claire is having the worst day of her life. As a lifelong sufferer of stage fright, she never enjoys giving PowerPoint presentations at work. In fact, her nerves typically get so bad that not only does she shiver and sweat her way through them, but typically
  winds up making mistakes left and right as a result.
   
  But this time, everything’s even worse. Her organic food manufacturing company, Gaia Foods, has invited buyers from some of the largest supermarket chains in the country to her presentation in hopes that they’ll consider doing business with Gaia. There are literally tens of millions of dollars at stake here. The result: Olivia’s nerves are now so bad that she can barely speak and winds up humiliating herself and her company. In short, her presentation is a disaster. And her boss, thirty-year-old CEO Owen Gabriel, has had it. He orders Olivia up to his office where he informs her of his plan to terminate her high-paying job. Unless…
   
  Unless Olivia allows him to “help” her become more comfortable before others by submitting to a bit of “immersion therapy. His plan is to make her do things in front of him and the buyers that are so “unpleasant” that any future presentation will seem like a walk in the park in comparison…and her stage fright will be cured. Yeah, it’s a load of crap—Owen’s only real intention is to get Olivia naked—and then some! But she’s so desperate to keep her job that she fails to notice. Off come the poor woman’s clothes. Then, shaking and gasping pitifully, she is ordered to do one lewd and embarrassing thing after another in front of a roomful of sleazy, gawking men. It really is disgraceful, all the sinful things she’s being put through.
   
  Olivia’s humiliation doesn’t seem to be diminishing at all. (Well, of course not! It was nothing but a bogus, opportunistic scheme from the start!) Owen’s solution: Up the ante by making everything even worse for her.
