When student doctor Taylor Lawrence's city life is turned upside down, she seeks sanctuary on her grandparents' farm in the South Australian countryside. During the lonely nights, she fantasises of a time long-gone; of Anna, who, rising at dawn to milk the cows and fetch the water from the well, is caught in a raging fire that threatens to leave her reputation as blackened as the surrounding bushland. And of Anne's rescuer, fellow settler, Luke Hartmon. Reality blurs as Taylor repeatedly escapes into Anna's world, and she realises she must discover whether her dreams are pure fantasy, or if they recount a story more familiar than she could ever imagine. Either way it seems she'll end up with a broken mind or a broken heart. The problem is Taylor is no longer sure which she would prefer.
