ALL EPISODES OF SCRUBLANDS: SILVER DROP ON STAN 17th OF APRIL 2025
Journalist MARTIN SCARSDEN has vowed never to return to his coastal hometown of Port Silver, and the traumatic memories he left there. But now, with his new partner, MANDY BOND, and her 18-month-old son LIAM, his choices are not just his own. Not if he wants a shot at a life, a love, a family.
It’s been over a year since Martin uncovered the truth about the tragic events at Riversend, and like Martin, Mandy Bond has her own healing to do. She needs to move on and remember who she was before her life changed irrevocably. Mandy has discovered a humble wellness retreat at a place called Hummingbird Beach. And, as fate would have it, it’s only 20kms up the road from Martin’s hometown, Port Silver. Mandy arrives and instantly finds the healing she was hoping for. Hummingbird Beach Retreat takes her breath away and in nearby Port Silver’s peaceful vibe, she feels free from the shadows of her past.
Arriving in Port Silver a few weeks after Mandy, Martin finds his childhood friend, JASPER SPEIGHT, brutally murdered and Mandy the chief suspect. The police have no other suspects, and Mandy is inexplicably unable to remember what happened; Martin goes searching for the killer and finds his past waiting for him.
Martin and Mandy dig deeper, raising questions about a mystery from five years ago - the disappearance of one of Port Silver’s best known business owners and would be property developers, AMORY ASHTON. With an instinct the events are linked, Martin looks for the truth behind Ashton’s disappearance, hoping to exonerate Mandy as well. And the deeper he looks; the shakier Port Silver’s peaceful façade becomes.
Martin pursues dead end after dead end while Mandy staunchly maintains she couldn’t possibly be responsible for Jasper’s murder. Yet, at every turn, new evidence appears that makes it harder to prove her innocence. Then a horrendous new crime at Hummingbird Beach Retreat starts to reveal the truth.
There’s been a poisoning at the retreat and seven people are dead, with no clear answers. The media descends on a story that has it all: money, sex, extortion, celebrity, drugs, and murder – and among those fighting for their lives in hospital is the main suspect in the Jasper Speight murder, Riversend’s infamous Mandy Bond. It seems Mandy can’t escape her past after all.
The story draws the attention of the whole country, and Martin’s past also refuses to stay buried. But it’s not just his career Martin is protecting this time. Using his investigative journalism skills and knowledge of the media, he’s in a race against time to save Mandy, draw out the real murderer and discover the truth about Port Silver’s murky past, as well as his own.
