'Belinda works in Community Development. She's looking for a fresh start and arrives in Tarocco, a small town in regional Victoria, looking for volunteers for a youth mentoring program she's running. And maybe she's looking for love - she gives the local dating agency a go, even though she's not quite sure why she's doing it. Marco is a small businessman, who knows everyone in town. He's lonely - living with his teenage daughter means he may as well be living alone.'
