'Storyline as dramatic and colourful as the land itself' - Gold Coast Bulletin
Following the tragic death of their father, Clem Price and his sister Alice take over the running of Lancoorie sheep station in Western Australia.

And although he knows that Thora is carrying another man's child, he is enchanted by his beautiful young bride. Yet Thora proves to be flighty and demanding, disappointed that her husband is not as wealthy as she had imagined.
Desperate to please her, Clem joins the goldrush to Kalgoorlie to seek his fortune. But his prolonged absence enrages Thora further and, despite Alice's warnings, she travels to Perth to find her husband. Her dramatic reunion with Clem is to have shocking consequences from which those involved might never recover...
