Tordorrach has been on sale for over four years. The 70,000 acres of Australian outback are drought-stricken, the homestead derelict, and owner Seamus and his long-suffering wife living in poverty. Begrudgingly, Seamus is forced to accept an offer from a group of wealthy Londoners who want to run outback experience holidays on Tordorrach. Despite coming from England, the new owners are not strangers to the property. When they offer Seamus the position of manager, he declines but decides to stay on as a gardener, and is given a comfortable cabin on the property – so why does he hate the new owners so much that he plans to murder one of them? Their idyllic life is shattered when the body of a long-buried woman is found on Tordorrach, and a bullet confirms she was shot. Who was she? Who murdered her?
