The Regans, a grazier family, live on a homestead of their own making. They have become wealthy, yet the life is still demanding and lonely in the vast spaces of the Australian outback where the nearest shop is over 300 miles away - but progress and development are available for those willing to invest the time and effort. Their neighbour, twenty-two-year-old Englishman David Cope, is struggling to survive on land with less water. The Regans are of Irish/Scots descent and fought with the IRA, whereas David's father fought with the Black and Tan. Then Stanton Laird comes to the area, sent by an American company to look for oil. This is not the inevitable love triangle, but a portrait of people with very different cultural backgrounds building relationships in a far from normal environment.
