When her husband departs, her adventure begins…
1933. In the tiny outback town of Bittamilla, Winifred Peters buries her husband after decades of dutiful silence, surrounded by her thankless grown-up children.
On discovering a surprise inheritance, Winifred makes a sudden decision to leave town, and when she encounters a young wife taking refuge from her husband, the two women board a train to bustling Sydney.
The city brings unexpected adventures, new friends and the chance to finally find their voices. But when the past catches up with them, will they be able to hold on to their fiercely won freedom?
