The idyllic surf town of Piha with only one thousand residents is the subject of rumour and speculation because people are going missing.
In March 2020, a French teenager travels to Piha to collect some black volcanic sand. He is never seen again. A year earlier a Chinese student is last seen walking through the local campground. Up on the clifftops is the notorious Mercer Bay Loop Track where the cars of two women are found, but their occupants are not.
In 2004, a 20 year old woman disappears after calling the police in distress. And where is Quentin, an 18 year old last seen on the Piha road? What happens to a small town divided over the fears and the denials of a danger in their midst?
Produced in association with Studiocanal and Warner Bros Discovery.
