Jenny Morrison is bravely trying to move on with her life. With her husband missing amidst the turmoil of WWII she takes refuge with Ray King, a slightly sinister, stuttering boy who disappeared from Woody Creek as a teenager but has now reappeared. In return for regular ‘wifely duties’, Ray offers Jenny and her three children sanctuary at his house in Melbourne. For a time, she is happy. But then Jenny’s father – the philandering impresario Archie Foote – storms back into her world and chaos reigns again. Archie recognises Jenny’s brilliance and offers her a second chance – a way to escape the domestic drudgery and finally fulfil her dream. But when you have three children, one missing husband and another with a dark secret, dreams have a habit of turning into nightmares…
