'London. 1957. Erin Forsyth’s family own two art galleries in the London area – one in Knightsbridge and the other in White Chapel. When her playboy fiancé cheats on her, she takes revenge by outing him during their wedding ceremony before she runs away to outback Australia with her Uncle Cornelius who deals in precious gems. They set up shop in a dugout in the wild outback town of Coober Pedy, where life gets really interesting. Erin falls in love with Jonathan, an opal miner, who finds himself left with a half aboriginal girl [sic] when her father is killed in a fight with another opal dealer. Unbeknown to him, he’s also left in possession of one of the most precious opals ever found, the Olympic Australis and that puts his and Erin’s life in danger.'
