It revolves around the disappearance of a child in suburban Melbourne — is being transposed to a Middle East setting, which just like the original will see each episode of the ten-part Rashomon-like show told from a different point of view.

Principal photography is currently underway and is scheduled to debut in September 2024 on the TOD SVOD platform which since its launch in March 2022 has been steadily gaining ground due to its mix of premium sports and entertainment content.
