Girl Falling

Why would my best friend want to destroy my life? Finn and her closest friend Daphne grew up in the imposing shadow of Australia''s Blue Mountains. Their uneasy bond forged from both losing their sisters at a young age. Now in their twenties, Daphne is at university, while Finn remained in the mountains, falling in love with newcomer Magdu. A young woman with troubles of her own. After tensions arise during Magdu and Daphne''s first meeting, Finn is looking forward to a day of rock climbing and bonding for the three women on the cliffs near their town. But nothing goes as planned, and in a horrific accident, Magdu falls to her death. In the aftermath, the friends become the focus of a police investigation. Was it really an accident? Or did something far more sinister play out that day?
