Bluff

Joanie, 2013. Desperate to flee the claustrophobia of St Rule, Joanie has long been planning her escape. But on the night of her high-school graduation this dream is shattered by a betrayal. Devastated, Joanie falls into the hands of an enigmatic couple - Erin and David - who offer her a new kind of escape. Charismatic, older and intellectual, they make Joanie feel alive and important in a way she didn''t know was possible. But what do Erin and David, in turn, want from Joanie? Cameron, 2023. When Cameron arrives back in St Rule for Christmas a single question burns in his mind: what happened to Joanie? It''s been a decade since he saw his old friend, and in truth he hadn''t given it much thought - busily building a life. But now as he starts to look for answers, it becomes clear that someone wants to keep this secret buried at all costs. How far should he go to pursue the truth?
