Description
A nerve-shredding psychological thriller that asks who and what we cling to when everything starts to burn, from the bestselling author of The Farm
2030. Devastating bushfires have plunged Australia into lockdown. When stay-at-home orders lift, Carmen isn't relieved. Solitude has suited her too well.
Carmen's best friend, Eleni, convinces her to join her and her boyfriend, Dan, and their friend Rhett on a road trip. After months apart, Eleni says they need an unplugged week away together: a chance for escape and reconnection, laughter and shared history.
But the trip isn't what Carmen expects. The friends try to bond, but everyone has changed. They end up stuck in isolated cabins in dense national parkland. Secrets spill out, new ideals are challenged, and bitter arguments erupt. On the final morning, new fires are racing towards them, forcing the group to find another way out. But how, when the friends no longer trust each other with their lives?
Tense, timely, propulsive and unnerving, The Burn examines the myths we believe about ourselves and the people we love. With survival at stake, who do we become?
