Tracklist
Fifteen years ago, a devastating storm shattered the peace of Evelyn Bay, claiming the lives of three young people: Kieran’s older brother Finn, his friend Toby, and Mia’s best friend Gabby. Kieran Elliott, burdened by guilt and blamed for the tragedy, fled the town. Now, he returns with his partner Mia and their young family to care for his ailing father and emotionally distant mother.
Kieran’s return coincides with the discovery of Bronte, a young photographer, dead on the beach. As the investigation unfolds, old wounds are reopened, and the community is forced to confront long-buried secrets. The series explores how trauma, grief, and unresolved guilt can shape, and haunt, a close-knit community for years.
Cast: Charlie Vickers as Kieran Elliott, Yerin Ha as Mia Chang, Shannon Berry as Bronte, Robyn Malcolm as Verity Elliott, Damien Garvey as Brian Elliott, Catherine McClements as Trish, Jessica De Gouw as Olivia Birch, George Mason as Ash Carter, Thom Green as Sean Gilroy, Martin Sacks as Julian Gilroy, Johnny Carr as Detective Alex Dan, Miriama Smith as Detective Senior Sergeant Sue Pendlebury.
Filmed on location in Tasmania, the series leverages the region’s dramatic cliffs and crashing waves to create a moody, atmospheric backdrop that amplifies the tension and emotional stakes. While specific details about the soundtrack have not been widely publicized, early previews highlight a score that uses haunting, minimalist instrumentation, echoing the isolation and suspense of the story.
