Ruby Moon follows the story of a missing girl and the impact it has on the community. It begins like a fairytale, but how does it end....
In the picture-perfect suburb of Flaming Tree Grove, a little girl called Ruby disappears when she sets off to visit her grandmother at the end of the cul-de-sac. She is never seen again.
Having to confront the void their little Ruby has left behind, her parents Sylvie and Ray Moon spiral into suspicion and sorrow as they search for answers to the haunting mystery. Actors Eliza Logan and Jo Turner play Sylvie and Ray and create a whole neighbourhood of enigmatic and eccentric characters recruited to uncover Ruby’s mysterious disappearance.
