Writer: Vanessa Gazy
Director: Mirrah Foulkes

As the pressure builds on the Eden police to find Hedwig Shelley, the murder of a local drug dealer adds coal to the fire. Chief Gracie begins to lose his cool head, as his most terrible secret threatens to bubble to the surface.

Police Chief Lou Gracie has it all — a powerful position in the town he grew up in, a devoted wife in Octavia and his fiawless high-achieving children. But below the surface, his foundations are shifting — Gracie’s fallen in love with Cam, a male sex-worker and drug-dealer, and it’s becoming more intense. Gracie and his subordinate, Drysdale, have also been taking backhanders to turn a blind eye to the local Eden drug trade. But when the body of dealer Tom Mulvaney is discovered in swampland, the chief begins to realise that Drysdale is more deeply embedded in the criminal dealings of the town than he imagined. He’s desperate to keep the situation under control, but the pressure is on from all angles. With an unsolved murder and Hedwig still missing, all eyes are on the small town, threatening to expose its dark underbelly. And closer to home, a USB turns up on Gracie’s doorstep, threatening to expose his own secret life. Disturbed by the blind spots he perceives in the police’s approach to the disappearance of Hedwig, Detective Ezra Katz begins his own investigation — taking him to Andy Dolan, Hedwig’s ruined father Michael, a reluctant Scout (who’s still hiding the mysterious message she received) and her mother Saranya, with whom Katz shares a painful past.
