On a working holiday in the country, away from commitments and other people´s expectations, will Gemma find love and a new way of life?

---

Smart and reliable, Gemma Northcote has always done what´s expected of her. So it´s not surprising that after university she defers to her father´s wish that she join the family business.

Gemma´s best friend, Jasmine, is a different personality altogether. She thrives on spontaneity, is unpredictable and has generally pursued her own path.

When Gemma and Jasmine decide to spend a working holiday on a large rural property, their friends and family are surprised. Neither has any experience of country life (unless you count Jasmine´s love of McLeod´s Daughters) and they´re not exactly farming types.

Away from her family, Gemma feels liberated. The longer she´s away the more she questions what she really wants to do with her future. Ultimately, she realises she needs to choose between duty and what´s right for her in life - and love.
