When the young governess Emilie Tissington is approached by happy-go-lucky Mal Willoughby in the streets of Brisbane, Australia, her proper English upbringing prevents her from encouraging conversation. But, later, another chance meeting with Mal will involve her in a controversy of murder and intrigue that will ruin her reputation. For just as the friendship blossoms, Mal is threatened with hanging for a crime he didn't commit and, hunted by the police, he turns to Emilie, his only friend.
This is a story of innocence and fierce loyalty set against the backdrop of 1870s Brisbane. Of a man with simple tastes battling a sinister conspiracy, and of a woman living with fear and uncertainty in a lawless land. Their journey into the unknown has surprising consequences.
