On a sweltering hot Valentines Day 1900, in the Macedon region of Australia, 3 Australian schoolgirls and a teacher, on a picnic expedition to the remote Hanging Rock, abscond from their group. They are last seen heading towards the Rock.
In this chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s classic story, 5 female performers struggle to solve the mystery of the missing girls and their teacher, they also tell of the horrific reverberations that their disappearance creates in the community.
