After suffering from life-changing injuries, the army medivacs Todd home, and his hospitalisation and rehabilitation time stretch Todd to his limits. With support from his family, he returns home to Westbourne to learn to live with his restricted mobility. A chance job option opens, and Todd relocates to Brisbane to take up a temporary job. A chance encounter with his rehab nurse evolves into a relationship that Todd values highly. When a vindictive workmate turns Todd's life upside down, he returns home to lick his wounds.
Dissolution sweeps through Todd as he faces his future: living as an unemployed veteran with his sister. When Todd meets Myra, her equine therapy program is the boost he needs to get his motivation back. Todd and Myra decide to become roommates, and despite vehemently stating that neither is looking for a relationship, they become more involved than they realise. The arrival of a former beau splits Myra and Todd, and she turns to another man to heal the hurt.
A series of unexpected incidents occur, and when the problems plaguing Myra are sorted, Todd realises that his initial feelings for her have evolved. When Todd finally moves to discuss their relationship, Myra is not confident that Todd's apology and explanation make him a suitable partner. After so much hurt, can Todd convince Myra to take a chance on him, or will his feelings remain one-sided?
