*Seeking the Truth*
Neil, also known as ‘Nereus’, a nod to his Greek heritage, was a rock icon. In 1977, his death sparked rumours of suicide or murder.
Now 50, Winter Harris, daughter of former bandmate Graham Harris, is seeking answers about his disappearance when she was just five. Rumours suggest her father murdered Nereus but Winter and her family are determined to find the truth and clear his name if it was indeed murder.
Winter’s quest for truth leads her to unexpected revelations amidst a path fraught with challenges. Her mother Sadie, sharp and uncompromising, has filled her life with lies. Unbeknownst to Winter other forces are obstructing her search. Her investigation also impacts her children raising questions about her actions. Dangers lurk as those opposed to the truth will stop at nothing to prevent it from coming to light.
As the truth unfolds, Winter must reevaluate her life.
