Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart. They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron.

Met enige tegenzin beginnen vijf vrouwen aan een zware, regenachtige trektocht. Slechts vier van hen bereiken de eindstreep. De tocht door het ruige achterland van Australië was bedoeld om de vijf collega's uit hun kantoorbubbel te halen en zo meer kracht en teamgevoel te creëren. Aaron Falk, agent bij de federale politie, is extra geïnteresseerd in de vermiste vrouw, Alice Russel. Ze is de klokkenluider in Falks onderzoek - en wist bepaalde geheimen. Over de firma waarvoor ze werkte en over haar collega's. In plaats van over een trektocht met een hechte samenwerking als resultaat, krijgt Falk verhalen te horen over een tocht vol beschuldigingen, agressie en afbrokkelend vertrouwen. En hoe dieper hij in de verdwijningszaak duikt, hoe groter de gevaren lijken te worden...

Egy őrült szerelem, amit megrázó csalódás követ. Egy kapcsolat, ami egy életre szól, és még annál is tovább. Bosszú, aminek még a halál sem állhatja útját. Barnabas Collinst, a New England-i hajómágnás család ifjú örökösét megbabonázza Angelique, a Martinique szigetéről érkező szolgáló egzotikus szépsége. Arra azonban, hogy a lány milyen sötét hatalmak szövetségese, csak akkor jön rá, amikor már késő: eljegyez valaki mást, Angelique pedig olyan bosszút esküszik ellene, ami a síron túl is üldözni fogja. Lara Parker a hetvenes évek kultikus sorozatában, a Dark Shadowsban maga játszotta Angelique szerepét. A színésznő a sorozat eredeti forgatókönyvét feldolgozva írta meg az Éjsötét árnyék trilógiát. A történet filmváltozata 2012 májusában kerül a mozikba Tim Burton rendezésében, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer és Helena Bonham Carter főszereplésével.
