To pursue their idyll they invest in a rustic weekend cottage within a secluded valley.Their valley retreat contains intriguing aspects and soon they are drawn into the vortex of small-town life. The brazen allure of locals such as hard-living endurance rider, Luke Byrne and exotic bush regenerator, Veronica Jackson, sows seeds for lust, temptation and deception.Outside the valley, Sally retains her professional ambition while Max struggles. His now-ailing furniture factory is a burden to his finances, pride and confidence and the situation only exacerbates his guilt about his parents welfare and his forsaken family.Max and Sally open a restaurant in the valley to placate his parents but their omnipresence creates tension between the lovers.
