SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG

Imprisoned by his father, 8-year-old Benji sobs for his mother. Using the distraught child as bait, a vengeful man attempts to lure his ex-partner back into a relationship she has escaped. Since Monica Savington walked away from a toxic marriage, the harassment has been relentless: incessant phone calls, crude texts, threats, stalking, vandalism, and bizarre declarations of love. When police accept Luca Savington's lies at face value, they unwittingly become his accomplices. >In 2024, seventy-eight women in Australia were killed by abusive partners. While public outrage grew, and the media was saturated with coverage of domestic violence, a calculating serial abuser was able to manipulate police and courts. That experts on the ground considered Monica to be in serious danger appeared irrelevant. Set in New South Wales, Something is Seriously Wrong is a harrowing true account of how institutional failure enabled a serial abuser to unleash a reign of terror. Told through the eyes of Benji's grandfather, it is, at its heart, the story of one mother's desperate fight to save her son - and a system that failed them both.
