Inspired by Robert Donaldson's novel Cane, this sequel to the 1987 mini-series Fields of Fire begins in 1946. Following the marriage of WWII, British expatriate Bluey and Dusty, one of his co-workers in the Australian cane fields, the focus shifts to a pair of new characters - Gina, an Italian refugee, and Franco, her black-marketeer husband.

In this third instalment of the Fields of Fire series, Kate, now widowed, 'is a wealthy woman owning many cane farms. She is attracted to Rinaldo, a newly arrived Italian cane-cutter. The referendum to outlaw the Australian Communist Party splits the town. A big flood draws the community back together and brings the saga to a close.'
