Oscar's peaceful night is shattered by the sound of a jackhammer in his neighbour Penny's garden. When he investigates, he discovers Penny digging up her concrete patio-next to a carpet suspiciously wrapped around what looks like a body. Penny insists it wasn't her fault, but as Oscar and his wife Rose dig deeper into the events of that night, they uncover a web of lies, secrets, and a dark connection to someone they thought they knew. As the truth unravels, they must decide how far they're willing to go to protect themselves-or if they're already in too deep. Will the secrets buried in the garden stay hidden, or will they be the ones to drag Oscar and Rose under?
