Set in the backdrop of 1900s Australia, three school girls and their teacher vanish while on a day trip to the mystical Hanging Rock. Caught between the school, the local community and her own demons, headmistress Mrs. Appleyard (Natalie Dormer) must try to decipher dreams from reality as the mystery plays out. Based on the original 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay and directed by Larysa Kondracki, the series co-stars Yael Stone, Lola Bessis, and Lily Sullivan. ~ Rovi
