Anna Torv, Deborra-Lee Furness and Richard Roxburgh also appear in Robert Connolly’s adaptation of the Jane Harper novel about a woman who goes missing on a rainforest hike.

’s somber performance as a pensive city cop drawn back to the remote town of his childhood in the middle of a prolonged drought. Bana returns as Aaron Falk in, which is otherwise a sequel in name alone. The setting this time is a lush and very wet mountain rainforest, drenched by a massive thunderstorm at a key point in the narrative. That makes half the title a complete misnomer.

A group of five women on a corporate hiking retreat set off through a rainforest in the Victorian mountain ranges but only four of them return, and no one can seem to pinpoint exactly when the fifth member of the party went missing. What was planned as a team-building exercise instead deepens the schisms among the co-workers at a financial investment company.

It turns out that all of them have had friction with Alice, an abrasive colleague who doesn’t invest much in making friends. And the one thing Beth, Bree and Lauren can agree on is that the dynamic changed abruptly on their first night in the rainforest when Daniel broke off from the separate men’s group to join them, whisking Alice off among the ferns for a private word.
