About Dark Days Hotel

One dark winter night, a young woman in silk pyjamas collapses in a Tasmanian hospital carpark. The only witness is Liv, an exhausted emergency nurse who fails to save her. Haunted by her mistake, Liv sets out to discover the woman’s identity, leading her to the Aonaran, an exclusive health resort where the ultra-wealthy come to reset and remake themselves. But the deeper Liv goes, the more unsettling the resort becomes.
