Sydney, 1938. After being hit by a car on Oxford Street, 63-year-old Jean Ford lies in a coma in Sydney Hospital. She has £100 in her pocket, but no identification. Memories come back to her - a murder trial, a life in prison - but with each prick of the needle her memories begin to shift. Wellington, 1885. Tally Ho doesn't need to go to school because she is going to be a fisherman or a cart driver. Papà takes her fishing, Nonno teaches her how to jump fences on his horse - life gallops on the way it should, until a brother, William, is born. Taking the advice of her hero, Harry Crawford, she runs away. Sydney, 1917. The burned body of a woman is discovered on the banks of the Lane Cove River. Nobody knows who she is, until - three years later - a tailor's apprentice tells police that his mother went missing that same weekend, and that his stepfather, Harry Crawford, is not who he seems to be.
