Description
A rescue helicopter is sent to airlift a five-year-old boy with severe internal injuries after he falls from an upstairs veranda. His mother's account of the incident is shrouded in secrecy, adding to the mystery surrounding his fall. The McNamara family moved to New Zealand seeking a fresh start. For Martha, it was an escape; for her husband Kit, a dream; and for their twin boys, an adventure. However, their peaceful idyll is short-lived as the choices made by their 16-year-old son lead the family down a perilous path. As Martha faces impossible decisions, each with devastating consequences for her family, she must confront the darkness that has been lurking beneath the surface of their seemingly idyllic life.
