Easter 2000 . Jay Swan and Mary are attempting to forge a new life together in a fading timber town still mired in racism and denial . With the trial of his father ’ s murderer concluded , Jay has promised to put his pain behind him and join Mary in her mother ’ s hometown as they care for Mary ’ s niece , Anya , and await the birth of their first child . But it doesn ’ t take long for the majesty of the surrounding forests to take on gothic dimensions .
After Jay rescues a distressed runaway boy who believes he ’ s being haunted , a young child goes missing and a former nun drowns mysteriously in her own bath – Jay begins to realise the entire town of Loch Iris has been hiding a shadowy past that is still rippling through the present .
