In the heart of Van Diemen's Land, where colonial ambition meets ancient wilderness, William Jeffries Sr.-a wealthy entrepreneur with a carefully hidden past-vanishes on a frost-bitten winter's night. Left behind are a young wife desperate for answers, a child too young to understand, and a household rife with secrets. As mysterious letters surface and long-buried truths emerge, the lines between victim and villain blur. Was it murder, a meticulously orchestrated disappearance, or something far more sinister lurking in the shadows of Jeffries Manor?
