The Outback

It was supposed to be paradise.

For one group of friends, it's a study abroad program like no other: a month-long adventure filled with sunshine, whirlwind romances, and all-night parties. But it isn't long before their trip of a lifetime unravels into betrayal, heartbreak, and one missing girl.

Until one of them didn't come home.

Ten years later, the girl's remains are found, and it's time for the group to return to Australia. All of them have secrets, but only one knows what really happened the night the girl went missing.

And they'll do anything to keep the truth buried...
