When gentleman farmer Harold Crow dies after routine surgery in rural Tasmania, his death exposes a web of forbidden love, secret offspring, and devastating betrayals that will tear two families apart.
Local GP Dr David Boyd fears his connection to Harold will surface at the inquest. His wife Morven hides her own hurtful truth. The young folk - nurse Nathan, his girlfriend Isla Boyd, her brother Lachlan and a mystery newcomer become trapped in a dangerous plan that will threaten young love and sibling loyalties.
Set in the stunning landscape of Tasmania's southern highlands, this blend of classic Australian family saga and medical intrigue brims with unexpected twists and turns, revealing Rhonda McCoy as a natural and cinematic storyteller.
