A dead body. An exclusive community. Was it really an accident?
When Sudanese teenager Arol Chol turns up dead at the foot of the prestigious Chilton Hill, local journalist Audrey Lord is first on the scene. Chilton Hill's wealthy residents believe Arol was robbing one of the residents before he fell from the cliff at the bottom of their property. At the authorities' request, Audrey agrees to report it as an accident - for now.
But Aro was popular and an excellent student. There was no reason for him to rob one of the well-secured residents - certainly not on his own. As Audrey digs deeper, she discovers not everyone was happy with Aro's plan to move to the Peninsula. From the Chilton Hill residents to members of his old community and even those inside his own family, it seems everyone has an axe to grind.
As Audrey investigates and race relations run high, she finds herself torn between the inflammatory views of the wealthy residents, Aro's grieving family, and the South Sudanese community. She wants to give Aro's family answers, but if she's wrong, it will cost her career and leave a killer on the loose. Nobody will be safe.
