Synopsis

When teacher Simon Robinson (Nick Tate) arrives in a small, secluded village to take over the local school, he is surprised to discover that his predecessor has disappeared without a trace – and that nobody seems too concerned.
As Simon probes deeper into the disappearance, the inhabitants of an ominous estate called "Summerfield" take on greater significance – until events reach a tragic, shattering and unforseen climax.
Described by David Stratton as a "tantalisingly tense mystery", Nick Tate, John Waters, Elizabeth Alexander and Charles "Bud" Tingwell star in this mysterious and menacing thriller directed by Ken Hannam (Sunday Too Far Away) and featuring a haunting score from Bruce Smeaton (Picnic at Hanging Rock).
Be warned, "Nothing can prepare one for the shocking conclusion. It is truly unsettling… and makes Summerfield unforgettable". The Sacramento Times.
