From the author of "The Thorn Birds" comes this story of passion and jealousy set in an isolated hospital camp at the end of World War II. Sister Honour Langtry (Wendy Hughes) is a warm, sensitive nurse caring for five emotionally wounded soldiers. When a new patient arrives (Gary Sweet) who appears charming and untroubled, the delicate relationship between the inmates slowly begins to unravel.

On the unforgiving Australian frontier, American Ben is intent on building a life with Alice, the gorgeous daughter of a local rancher. Although Ben is in love with the girl, he faces some competition from local cowboy Jack. When Alice's father dies, and an unscrupulous creditor plots to seize her family's land, Ben leaps to her defense, an act that could lead to their marriage or his funeral.
