2000s: What could be the worst thing that could happen at a trivia night?
Imagine a small idyllic seaside town close to Sydney. You move here to escape your past and to create a future. You make friends with two other women with children and start to think that maybe this could be your new home. But then an incident at school threatens to change all that. A playground incident causes a rift between these three women and the other parents of the school. Minor at first but escalating fast, until whispers and rumours become vicious and spiteful. It was always going to end in tears, but no one thought it would end in murder . . .
Pirriwee Public school sits on the fictional Pirriwee Peninsula near Sydney. A typical beach town with a beachy relaxed feeling in the air. It might look like an idyllic place to be but the school seems to be one hotbed of intrigue and inner turmoil. The School gate is a not so much a meeting of minds but a clash of conflicting personalities. And this beach side town has many personalities…
Jane comes to Pirriwee, keeps moving as she can’t seem to escape her past. But having made friends with the mums and children of this town, an incident creates a shadow over the entire community. Close knit or claustrophobic?
Seaside living sounds idyllic at first. The beaches , outdoor living- even the school has a balcony and the general sense that Jane first had on arrival, that this was a good place to settle….or not as the case may be.
