Young Lismore couple Cassie and Darren become drawn into the seductive world of Leo, an Irish traveller, living in a caravan on the outskirts of Lismore. Leo’s charm and worldliness intoxicate Cassie and her relationship with Darren is slowly poisoned. As Leo becomes more entwined in their lives, their sense of who they are is overturned. Cassie offers to marry Leo for money and to ensure he is able to stay in Australia. What follows is an intense fight for love.
