Synopsis
During an extravagant birthday celebration for her twins held in Sydney's affluent Eastern Suburbs, self-made Filipina entrepreneur Roxanne Waters experiences the theft of a necklace valued in the millions. The ensuing police inquiry threatens to expose concealed conflicts, questionable commercial activities, and clandestine relationships within the privileged circles of Vaucluse.
