If you killed anyone. I'd know.
A small town has been devastated by a bushfire, and Primary School Principal Phoebe Warton can't sleep. She's the single mother of 18-year-old Caleb, who is accused of starting the fire - on purpose. Twelve people are dead, students from her school among them; only a monster would cause such carnage. But where was her son was that day? No one knows but Caleb, and he's not talking.
Against mounting community rage, Phoebe sets out to clear her son. But every avenue leads back to Caleb. Why did he vanish from his Country Fire Authority shift? Who else was at the abandoned goldmine that day? Why is Caleb refusing to speak?
Phoebe will be forced to confront the nature of guilt and redemption and decide what boundaries she is willing to cross to save the son she loves.
