The brand new Australian/UK drama Riptide is set on a beautiful beach in Victoria and follows a feuding family who struggles to work past their issues before a very dark event.
In the TV series, Alison marries a rich older man named Sean and moves to his bougie beachfront home with her daughter Hannah. But, Sean’s adult son Ethan has his suspicions about Alison’s intentions which are further escalated after his dad disappears during a morning surf.
Throughout the four-part series, the search for Sean unfolds, and the dark drama plays out with a backdrop of a stunning Summer-Bay-esque beach and some very good-looking people.
