Christmas Eve 1959, Adelaide Heights, Australia. At the end of a hot day, beside a stream in the grounds of the Turner family mansion, a delivery man makes a gruesome discovery.

Sixty years later, Jess has lost her job at the newspaper and is struggling to make ends meet.

Her grandmother Nora, with whom she grew up, has suffered a fall and is hospitalized. The memory of her beloved grandmother contrasts with reality as she finds a fragile and bewildered woman.
With nothing to do at Nora’s house, Jess takes to snooping around and in the old woman’s bedroom she discovers a book detailing the police investigation into a long-forgotten tragedy: that of the Turner family on Christmas Eve 1959. As she leafs through the book, Jess discovers an astonishing connection between her family and that event. From then on, the search for the truth will be the only possible path.
