Violet has to wait in Bindarra Creek for her car to be repaired and when the word gets around that she is a horse doctor, she receives an offer of a contract at a local horse stud. But the last thing Violet wants to do is settle in one place or give in to her attraction to Joe Rossiter. Can Joe convince Violet that Bindarra Creek is a place for her to belong?
