On a working holiday in Australia's cosmopolitan Outback town of Broome in 1986 Jodie, a young book designer and artist, is open to romance and adventure.

At the holiday village where she is staying she meets Joe, a young man who works there. Despite the strong attraction between them, the many unknowns about his earlier life keep them apart. To try to uncover his mysterious past they travel to Perth and back to Broome and are drawn into not only bizarre but also dangerous situations.

Is Joe the person she thinks he is, or is he some alter ego? Can Jodie and Joe stop their relationship from developing until they have answers and know if he is free to love her?
