Liese Campbell has an engagement for the weekend: to stay with Alexander Colquhoun, the well-mannered heir of a pastoral dynasty, at his property in western Victoria. Working in real estate, the luxury apartments Liese has been showing Alexander have become sets for a relationship that satisfies their fantasies – and helps pay her debts. It’s a game. Both players understand the rules. Across the ancient landscape they drive at dusk to his grand decaying mansion. Here Liese senses a change in Alexander, and realises a different game has begun. A trap has been set, but how and why? And for whom?
