BIGGER FISH
Steven is Allied Risk’s most senior life insurance claims investigator and needs a chance to redeem himself after his wife’s death unraveled his life. When a Melbourne Barrister vanishes while sailing alone, Steven hopes finding out whether the disappearance is a tragedy or a clever fraud will be his chance. But the world of business is much more dangerous than he knows. Under urgent pressure from the higher ups to complete the investigation as quickly as possible, Steven’s suburban world begins to unravel as he swims deeper and deeper into the shadowy waters of professional crime and cynical self-interest. As he fights his way through threats, sex, pizza, deceit and lawyers, Steven must decide which world he will choose to live in before it is too late.
