Echo Springs

Description

Wholesome country living isn't what it used to be... This town has a dark side, but what will these cops sacrifice to save it? A compelling suspense, set in the outback. Blue lights in the red dust... Echo Springs on the edge of the outback - a town where everyone knows your name, and your business. But the wholesome country living and welcoming community aren't what they used to be. Echo Springs has a dark underbelly, and it is seeping ever outward. Four cops... The small police station is overrun, and officers are working overtime to stem the tide of illegal activity from graffiti through to murder. From prickly Leila to heartsore Ben, Cooper with something to prove to Mac who's driven to succeed, the Echo Springs force is determined to keep the town safe. Putting everything at risk... But the stakes are higher than they've ever been, and it's not just the town these officers have to keep safe. It's their hearts as well. With bullets flying and bodies piling up, they will have to decide how much they're willing to risk and what they're willing to lose.
