The Sirens

In 19th-century Ireland, sisters Mary and Eliza were declared convicts and shipped to Australia. As they endured horrific conditions, they held on to hope and to each other. In 2019, recurring childhood nightmares continue to afflict first-year journalism student Lucy Martin. After waking up from a traumatic sleepwalking incident, Lucy escapes to her artist sister Jess’s house in Comber Bay on the coast of New South Wales. Then Lucy discovers that her sister is missing but is reassured by a neighbor that her sister is fine and just needed a break before an important gallery exhibition. Comber Bay, known for its dark events from shipwrecks to missing men, piques Lucy’s journalistic interest, and she begins to research while waiting for Jess to return. Lucy’s dreams become more vivid as she comes closer to finding the truth of the mysteries surrounding the coastal town and her sister’s complicated past.
