Unfolding over a long hot summer, Heatstroke draws us into the secrets, lies and betrayals that simmer beneath a fracturing relationship between mother and daughter, leaving them both changed forever.
In the middle of a stifling suburban heatwave, fifteen-year-old Lily doesn't come home one afternoon.
Rachel is Lily's teacher. Her daughter Mia is Lily's best friend. When they learn that Lily meant to disappear, taking nothing but lipsticks and some lacy underwear from her mother's drawer, Rachel is horrified - like any other parent.
But as Rachel becomes obsessed with Lily's secret life, and who she might be with, she grows increasingly distrustful of Mia.
Rachel knows that her daughter is hiding something... because she is hiding something too.
