Redcliff Marine Rescue volunteer Shiraz Jones unwittingly opens a cold case when she discovers a vintage sports car buried in a landslide.

When a 1976 storm destroyed Golden Beach Village, its secrets remained entombed. Now it's up to Shiraz to unearth what really happened on that fatal night.

A retired newspaper reporter shares his recollections, and she begins to piece together the facts. Her investigations lead her to a factory town in the north of England where more of the mystery unravels.

But not everyone is who they seem to be. And forty-seven years after the event, one of Redcliff's residents would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.
