After the death of Jack McLeod, his daughter Claire inherits Drover’s Run, a vast cattle station in South Australia. Claire’s world is upended when her estranged half-sister, Tess, returns after 20 years, announcing she owns half the property and plans to sell. Unable to buy Tess out, Claire persuades her to stay and help run the station. With the support of housekeeper Meg, her daughter Jodi, and local girl Becky, Claire and Tess form an all-female workforce to keep Drover’s Run alive.
