When her husband departs, her adventure begins...

1933. In the tiny outback town of Bittamilla, Winifred Peters is burying her husband after decades of silent submission, surrounded by her ungrateful collection of children and their grasping partners.

On discovering a surprise inheritance, Winifred makes a sudden decision to flee the town, and when she encounters a young wife taking refuge from her abusive husband, the two women head for bustling Sydney. There will be bumps on the road, but 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 hard-won freedom?
