  In Carrington, a rapidly changing suburb in Melbourne’s outer east, secrets long buried lie among a battleground of change, nostalgia, and shifting identity. The deeper she digs, the more her faith in the institutions she’s trusted begins to unravel.  
  As she races against time to expose the truth, someone else is out there, wielding their own form of justice. Before this story ends, Cassie will learn just how far some are willing to go to keep a secret buried forever.
