Matt Durban is a seasoned politician, a country boy who made his name in Canberra as a hardworking member for a city seat. Now Matt’s tipped for the leadership of his party, and the weekend before the big vote he’s back in his old home town of Collamundra, greeting the locals and catching up with family.
His wife, Carmel, has been his loyal partner through all the ups and downs of political life; putting up with his absences and keeping the family going. She’s also got political views of her own, and isn’t above getting involved in campaigns in their local area that aren’t exactly welcomed by some of the bigger fish … Inevitably, the demands of politics put a strain on their marriage, but together Matt and Carmel strive to make it work. Even though there are times when Matt wonders just how well he really does know his family.
And there are those who don’t want Matt to be leader, and will do anything to stop him — even if it means going back decades, and putting everything he has worked for at risk.
