A lover's game. A chest of clues.

Come find me. I'll be waiting...

Alex invites Charlotte to play a game with him, one of daring clues and secret meeting places. She accepts and they embark on a lover's chase across the city.

 

But with her arranged marriage to Floyd looming, will she have the strength to let Alex go?

 

Present Day: Paige Westwood is helping her boss establish a publishing company in his newly purchased Playfair Street house in The Rocks, Sydney. In the attic, she discovers a chest of old clues that are designed to lead the reader on a journey across the city.

 

Paige contacts the former owner, Ryan Greene, who explains the clues belonged to his great-aunt Charlotte, who once lived in the house, but who mysteriously disappeared in 1929.

 

Together, they follow Charlotte and Alex's clues to unravel a tale of lies and intrigue, of two lovers bound by hope, but also by deceit.

 

Can they solve the mystery of Charlotte's disappearance or has all hope been lost to the past?
