Synopsis:

Dr Kate Munro (Josephine Byrnes) arrives on the remote Gannet Island to take up a medical practice, keen to introduce the marvels of modern medicine to all by the twentieth century. The islanders lead conservative lives, ruled by the ingrained tradition and doctrines of the Catholic Church. Kate is instantly swept off her feet by Vic Hanlon (Marcus Graham), a strapping young grazier whose family represents the islands wealth, but she is regularly flustered by the islands priest, Father Michael Hanlon (Jerome Ehlers) who represents the dogmatic reactionary forces she despises. Despite the philosophical and ideological differences between them there is something stronger, a forbidden attraction that remains to be explored.

A woman doctor Dr. Kate Munro migrates to Gannet Island off South Australia in 1927. Conflict between traditional religious values and modern scientific medicine ensues as she forms a relationship with two men who are brothers, one a grazer and one a priest. This television mini-series is in the tradition of _'Thorn Birds, The' (1983) (mini)_ and was filmed on Kangaroo Island where December Boys (2007) was shot.
