Homecoming

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959: A local man makes a terrible discovery at the end of a scorching hot day. Police are called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in a baffling murder investigation. Many years later, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for two decades, she now finds herself unemployed. A phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother Nora has suffered a fall and is seriously ill in the hospital. At Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book chronicling a long-buried police case: the Turner Family Tragedy of 1959. It is only when Jess skims through its pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this notorious event—a mystery that has never been satisfactorily resolved.

However, her mission is to secretly monitor the mercurial architect in charge. In return, she’ll receive a home for her displaced Korean immigrant mother and herself. Upon arrival at Camp Zero, she is named Rose. Rose quickly secures the trust of her target, but in the camp, everyone has an agenda, and her alliances begin to shift. Through skillfully braided perspectives, including those of a young professor longing to escape his wealthy family and an all-woman military brigade struggling for survival at a climate research station, the fate of Camp Zero and its inhabitants reaches a stunning crescendo.
