The Empty Beach

A riveting tale of mystery and deception, THE EMPTY BEACH is a moody, character-driven thriller based on the novel of the same name by Peter Corris. Bryan Brown stars as Cliff Hardy, a down-on-his-luck private investigator hired to look into the disappearance of a businessman presumed drowned off Bondi Beach two years earlier. But when a journalist linked to the case is murdered, whispers emerge of secret recordings that could expose high-level corruption—and now, everyone wants them.

As Hardy digs deeper, he finds himself caught between ruthless criminals, political operatives, and hired thugs, all willing to kill to keep the past buried. With danger closing in and few people he can trust, Hardy must stay one step ahead to uncover the truth before he becomes the next victim.
