What if you had the power to rewrite your family’s history, but in doing so would change everything you’ve ever known? This is what Bianca must answer as she finds herself sent back in time to confront the tragedy that forever altered her lineage. Bianca is in the middle of her second breakdown. She blames her mother, Frances, for the last one, sending her to stay at Northern Mental Hospital. Although this time it’s a little different, she’s in 1979. And now she has a chance to break the chain of events that started it all. Walking the Heysen Trail, in South Australia, Bianca finds herself making the journey with her grandparents and her grandmother’s sister. She knows how their trip ends; two of them perish falling from a cliff. The effects of this tragic event rippled through her grandmother and then onto Frances and Bianca. It’s up to Bianca to delve further into her mind to try and remember enough to stop it.
