"A dream holiday. A fractured couple. And one of them won’t make it home.
James and Laura escape to the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia for what is meant to be a much-needed break. She’s a trauma therapist, burnt out after the suicide of a vulnerable client. He’s reeling from layoffs at work. A week in a remote finca might be just what they need to reconnect.
But within hours of arriving, Laura vanishes.
There’s no sign of a struggle. No note. Just silence. James is frantic. With no neighbours for miles—aside from a mysterious Dutch family he was certain shouldn’t be there—he turns to Carmen, the flirtatious owner of a nearby bar, for help. She’s eager to assist... maybe too eager.
When Detective Isabella Santos is assigned to the case, she quickly finds herself navigating a maze of contradictions. James’s medical history suggests he may not be telling the whole truth—or even remembering it. Carmen’s involvement begins to raise more questions than it answers. A local drunk insists he knows where Laura is. And then there’s the Dutch family in the neighbouring finca—especially their unsettling son, who creeps around James’s property with a grin that never quite reaches his eyes.
As secrets surface and the clock ticks, Santos must decide who to trust. Because in the blazing heat of the Spanish countryside, nothing is quite what it seems. And Laura’s time is running out.
A tense, unsettling psychological thriller that explores how easily the mind bends under pressure—and how far people will go to keep their secrets buried."
"In the chilling conclusion of the trilogy, Kat is left to pick up the pieces after Adam’s untimely death, but her own secrets threaten to unravel her.
As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren't supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off. The more she learns, the more she suspects their meeting was more than coincidence.
People connected to Adam’s dark past begin to meet grim fates, and Kat is left wondering how much of it is out of her control—or if she’s part of a bigger, more sinister plan. Is she being followed, or is her paranoia a sign that something far more menacing is at play?"
"In the aftermath of tragedy, Adam and Kat find themselves at the helm of their acquired company, navigating a sea of grief, guilt and responsibility. But while Kat embraces her newfound role with fervour, Adam struggles to find purpose amidst the chaos, his life descending into a spiral of apathy and disillusionment.
Enter Luke, an old colleague whose unexpected reappearance brings both promise and uncertainty. With the addition of Kevin, another figure from his past, Adam hopes to rebuild not only his business but also his fractured sense of self. Yet, as he delves deeper into the intricacies of his turbulent world, a series of strange occurrences begin to cast doubt on his reality.
Haunted by visions and plagued by paranoia, Adam grapples with the unsettling notion that someone — or something — is watching his every move. As his sanity unravels and those closest to him question his grasp on the truth, Adam must find who or what is trying to unhinge him. But is he truly in danger, or are his fears merely figments of his imagination?
Eventually, as the line between perception and illusion blurs, it leaves Adam to confront his hideous and unbeknown past once and for all, before it consumes him completely."
