Who is Collette? A teenage hippy chick with a baby on her hip living in a northern NSW coastal town. A runaway from her home in the hills. Now she is drifting, collecting men as she goes. But who is she really? Whether she means it or not, Collette changes people's lives. Dissatisfied university student Michael O'Shea, the father of her child. Frank Duncan, the drunken ex-TV star, who hides a shocking secret. Collette's own mother, Nina, still living the hippy dream at Hill End. Even the land itself will not stay the same.
