Jim and Bess live a secluded life on a Northern Victorian farm with their three children, but behind them lie a robbery, a murder charge and an abusive husband. After a hard ten years of drought and two children dead, their fortune is finally changing with the promise of a wet season and the past is slowly ceasing to haunt them. That is, until Bess's husband Jake appears on their doorstep. Jake still seeks vengeance on Bess for leaving him, and when he recognises the pair he leaves threatening to bring damning evidence before the court for the murder Jim didn't commit. A gun in his hand, Jim heads into the night after Jake but returns without firing a shot – his soft heart still unhardened by the grueling years.
