ICYMI: the first season followed investigative journalist, Martin Scarsden, as he uncovered dark secrets behind a priest's mass murder in the isolated town of Riversend.

Season two is set one year after the events of Scrublands, as Scarsden (Arnold) returns to his coastal hometown of Port Silver to build a new life with partner Mandy Bond (Heathcote). But his homecoming takes a dark turn when he discovers his childhood friend Jasper has been brutally murdered — and Mandy is the prime suspect.
