At first Amos is incensed and resentful, but gradually father and son find a way of getting along. Amos decides to stay and make a life for himself in Australia. He and Jim set up a soon flourishing business building luxury hotels. Then, just as Amos feels contented at last, married to the girl of his dreams, a stranger walks into his life, and threatens to ruin all that he's strived for...Meanwhile, the contemporary storyline, follows Abbie's great great grandchildren, 15 year old Vicky and her older brother Matt. Matt is still on the run from his mother's sadistic ex-boyfriend, until Abbie hatches a plan to get him out of the mess he's in.
