In 1841, Olivia Cruikshank was transported from England to Australia, serving a seven-year sentence for petty theft. Once a girl who used to dream of being a singer, Olivia has had to harden herself and, six years into her sentence is one of the most well-known convicts at the Cascades Female Factory. After being caught and tried for petty theft and absconding from her assignment, Olivia returns to the Cascades, where she meets a handsome new guard, Michael. Michael's parents were convicts, and he is a man of God who wants to change the transportation system. Mick isn't like the other guards. He's kind and gentle and never uses violence to discipline prisoners. Upon meeting, Mick is instantly intrigued by Olivia. Believing there is more to her story, Mick continues to seek her out and show her that there is hope for freedom. Olivia is sceptical of Mick, believing his kindness is for show. But when Mick stops Olivia from making a terrible mistake, will she change her mind?
