A detective ready for a new life

For years, Jake Jackson has been a high-flying detective in the city. One day, he receives a letter from his reclusive uncle – he has left Jake his property in the middle of the countryside. It is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start.

A rural idyll, the stuff of dreams

Life in the middle of nowhere is everything Jake could wish for. His home is beautiful, and his surroundings are stunning. While the locals are eccentric, they are also friendly, and invite him to join their annual treasure hunt.

A death that disrupts everything

What starts as an innocent game turns sinister when a young woman's bones are discovered. And Jake is thrust once again into the role of detective, as he tries to unearth a dangerous killer in this most unlikely of settings.
