The young family depart Scotland for Australia to introduce their new arrival to family -- and to battle Alistair's ex-wife Alex (Asher Keddie) custody of his first child, Chloe. Joanna, already struggling with being a first-time mum, finds herself at the centre of an unthinkable tragedy when her baby boy is abducted from a sleepy coastal town.
