The Perfect Parents

Jackson and Lydia Hemsworth are pillars of the community, feted for having the perfect marriage and three wonderful children - Florence, Jessica and Ezra.

But appearances can be deceptive.

Because behind closed doors Jackson Hemsworth rules his family with cruelty and control. His marriage is a sham; his children for years have cowed in fear.

Until the day that Jackson and Lydia throw themselves off Newport Bridge in a joint suicide pact - the final cruel blow by Jackson to control his wife and torture his adult children.

As the Hemsworth siblings return to their family home, they must try to make sense of their parents' last act. But there are many dark secrets waiting to be unearthed at Armett House.

Like, why are the townsfolk so suddenly hostile towards them? And who are the strangers who arrive at Armett House unannounced? And why has their mother's body still not been found?

In the aftermath of their parents' death, it becomes clear that something terrible is about to be exposed about the Hemsworths' perfect parents.

A secret they may all wish had stayed hidden...
