Description

A sweeping historical saga of sisterhood and self-discovery in the Australian outback.

In 1891 London, sisters Harriet and Sarah Cameron are raised by their radical-thinking father. When Sarah marries adventurer Henry Vincent, she embarks on a voyage to Australia, leaving Harriet to choose between family duty and her passion for art.

Grief and a longing for connection propel Harriet to follow Sarah into the vast Australian outback. Amidst the wild beauty and social injustice, she forges a friendship with an Aboriginal stockman and confronts a menacing threat. Will Harriet find her own path to empowerment and artistic expression in this untamed land?
