While having a couple of drinks at a hotel in Tumut, Grant befriends some locals who are talking about the reopening of the Adelong gold fields a short distance from Tumut. He accepts an invitation to visit a local gold mine owned by one of his newfound friends. As a result of a slight miscommunication, Grant goes into the wrong mine where he discovers two recently deceased bodies. He reports his discovery to the local police. Grant receives advice from his boss in Sydney that local police are not able to handle the matter due to other critical cases, so Sydney Homicide must take the case. As Grant was already in the area, his boss asks him to curtail his holiday and lead the investigation. Grant agrees and enlists the help of a very attractive local officer, Constable Sophie Laycock. Before long, strong feelings develop, and they share some steamy sex scenes while they are investigating the murders. Experiences they share bring Grant and Sophie ever closer together.

But as Ros learns Anna's truths, she finds solace from her past losses in their developing intimacy. And when their love is threatened, Ros must decide whether her own ghosts will forever define her, or if she can embrace her life for what it is-past, present, and future.
