Since she was a young girl, Chelsea Myles has performed with her uncle Cosmo's theater troupe, entertaining rough crowds while Cosmo picks customers' pockets. One night, a robbery goes awry and Chelsea is left holding a fortune, enough to buy her passage to Australia, and the chance of a new life. On board the vessel, Chelsea meets charismatic Quaid Tanner, who's returning to his vineyard in Sydney. Their affair is as brief as it is blissful, for Quaid holds a secret that must keep them apart.
