She is working under an assumed name in the tropical frontier town of Cairns, Australia, hoping the law will not catch up with her. She dreams of building a new life - and a modern hospital - but has to deal with the demons of her soldier-lover, and fight the medical and business establishment who see no such place for a young woman.Now, danger threatens as her dark secret closes in.
