Honoring their mother's last wish, Samantha Quinn and her young brother leave the vibrant, beachside city of Newcastle for a small country town in Northern New South Wales. Samantha's quest is to locate the woman who gave her up at birth. She never imagined meeting a man who could tempt her to stay, or that she'd be running for her life from a raging bush fire, armed bandits, and stampeding cattle. Riley Morgan is enjoying life after ten grueling years in Sydney's Drug Squad. As Senior Sergeant in his hometown of Bindarra Creek, his toughest duty these days is seeing the occasional drunk safely home. Then fate delivers Samantha- a sexy, gutsy and enthralling woman who threatens to take the long-standing rivalry between the Morgans and Sullivans into a new arena.
