Anais Mallory leaves behind her high-flying career as a homicide detective in Sydney to return to her hometown of Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand, where she is reunited with her grief-stricken mother, Veronica, following the mysterious road accident death of Anais' sister, Lynne. As Anais works on new cases with Detective Delaney as a local detective, she also investigates matters surrounding the recent deaths of her father and sister, which she suspects may involve her former fiancé, Luke, now married to her former best friend, Maja.
