When the body of an Asian girl washes up on Bondi Beach, there appears little hope of finding the killer, until Robin realises "China Girl” didn’t die alone.
Robin looks to the investigation to restore herself, but her problems are personal.
Haunted by a daughter given up at birth, Robin desperately wants to find her, yet dreads revealing the truth of her conception.
