'Rob is a loving son, brother and father who loses everything he lives for, his wife and child. Following this, Rob attempts to push everyone he loves and cares for away and descends into a downward spiral of self harm, suicide attempts and violent behaviour.

This turns into a quest for vengeance against the ones he holds responsible for his losses.' (Source: Screen Australia website)

In the early 1900s, the spirited and talented Laura Tweedle Ramsbotham arrives at an exclusive Melbourne ladies' college, only to be greeted with jeers and treated as a country bumpkin. Although she is defiant towards her peers, the pressure almost defeats her. She soon learns, however, to be as ruthless as the other girls. Caught out after inventing an illicit liaison with the handsome new minister, she becomes a pariah until she is taken under the wing of an older girl, the elegant and kindly Evelyn Suitor. Laura subsequently falls in love with Evelyn, causing the latter to leave the school in order to escape Laura's attentions. Laura eventually completes her schooling, winning a two-year music scholarship to study piano.
