In 1980s Sydney, weary divorce lawyer Victoria Stone is retained by her wealthy ex-husband to destroy heiress Sophia Langford’s reputation through seduction and blackmail. The story unfolds beside the opulent rooftop pool, thick with film-noir tension and psychological games. Unreliable narrator Victoria conceals her past as the two shift from hunter and prey to mutual revenge and a deep GL romance, forging a seductive alliance on the cliff-edge of ruin. The setting stays true to Australian high society’s conservative pressures, mining wealth, the extravagance of Sydney Harbour and the nostalgic 1980s noir atmosphere.
