Gifted, but arrogant heart surgeon Hugh Knight (Rodger Corser) leads a charmed life in Sydney. He believes his talent lets him live outside the rules—until an incident involving drugs and alcohol brings his world crashing down. Placed on probation and banned from performing surgery, Hugh is forced to retreat to his rarely-visited hometown of Whyhope in rural Australia.


Working as a doctor at an underfunded hospital under his no-nonsense new boss (Hayley McElhinney), Hugh struggles to re-acclimate to rural life. And his complicated family situation makes his fall from grace even worse. Between his politically-ambitious mother (Tina Bursill), emotionally distant father (Steve Bisley) and his ex-girlfriend Charlie (Nicole da Silva) now married to his younger brother, Hugh is constantly reminded why he left Whyhope.


After completing his probation, he has decided to stay in his rural hometown to raise his one-year-old daughter, Eliza, and the clinic he built with hospital head Penny (Hayley McElhinney, The Babadook) is about to partner with a wealthy sponsor. But the arrival of a beautiful, party-loving doctor threatens to tempt Hugh back into his old ways.
