β¦ Synopsis
In the spring of 1949, Stella OβRiain flees her home β a sheep property on the barren edge of the Strzelecki Desert. She leaves behind the graves of her husband Joe and her baby daughter.With no money and limited options, Stella accepts her brother-in-law Harryβs offer to live at the OβRiain cane farm in the Richmond Valley. There she hopes to get answers to the questions that plague her about her marriage. However Harry refuses to discuss Joe or the familyβs secrets, even forbidding her to speak to the owner of the neighbouring property.Nearly a century earlier in County Tipperary, Irish cousins Brandon and Sean OβRiain also fled their homes β as wanted criminals. By 1867, they are working as cedar-cutters in New South Walesβs lush green Richmond Valley.But while Brandon embraces the opportunities this new country offers, Sean refuses to let go of the past. And one cousin is about to make a dangerous choice that will have devastating consequences down the generations . . .
