Picnic at Hanging Rock

Three schoolgirls and their governesses mysteriously disappear on Valentines Day in 1900.

Hester's three star pupils and a governess have disappeared. Led by a dogged Sergeant, local men search for the missing. Has something supernatural befallen them? Or has a human outrage occurred? An aristocratic young Englishman, Michael Fitzhubert, was the last person to see the girls, and when the search is abandoned, he is compelled to return to the Rock where he makes a shocking discovery.

The missing Rothschild heiress, Irma Leopold, has been found unharmed but claiming to remember nothing

Hester struggles to contain mounting hysteria as aftershocks from the disappearance continue to disrupt the old order; a mysterious visitor summons memories of Hester's dark past; Sara seeks escape from the college.

French governess Mademoiselle is growing increasingly suspicious of Mrs. Appleyard's erratic behaviour.

Hester has grown increasingly certain that her vengeful husband is behind the disappearances and is coming after her; as she prepares to flee, the arrival of Sara's guardian provides conclusive proof of Mrs. Appleyard's lies.
