Lucas is a man torn between two worlds. Facing the prospect of new love, he can’t forget his past marriage and how he let his wife down. Years later, he is smitten by Maddy, but holds onto the remorse from his past life. She is a strong woman with an unfortunate history. She harbours a burning desire for Lucas but struggles with him being trapped in the past. From the rush of city streets to gumtrees and meandering rivers of the coast, Lucas and Maddy are two damaged people grappling with new love. They take a chance on each other and set off upon an epic journey through the Australian outback and across the continent. It takes them to the wilderness of the Kimberley in Western Australia where the heat shimmers on the horizon in a world they have to themselves. It is there, at the foot of a Baobab Tree, Lucas scoops a handful of red earth and lets it run through his fingers, allowing the ghosts to rest and knowing at last, he can forgive himself.Do Lucas and Maddy have the courage to embrace each other’s pasts and the scars they’ve collected along the way? Can they endure the obstacles that confront those who dare to love again?
