On the outskirts of a sleepy seaside town in Northern Queensland stands an
old house shrouded in mystery. Three half sisters return to this childhood
home on the eve of their mother's funeral, but they do more than just bury
their mother. Their bonds are elusive, tentative, born of a broken past webbed
in secrets, lies, deceit and shame. Now driven by needs long buried, and a
half conscious but burning desire to know the truth and exorcise the ghosts of
the past they unleash secrets on this one night that will change their lives
forever. This is the one night of the year when the tide goes out and they can
walk across the mudflats to the island....if they have the courage.
