Tim Williams has the world at his feet. Tipped for a top job in Cabinet, he is well on his way to becoming Premier. With a happy marriage, a good relationship with his teenage son and respect from his peers, his future is looking great. There is one little problem: 15 years ago, Tim had a brief, ill judged affair with drug-loving wild-child Nat Manning. The affair ended in pregnancy. After confessing to his wife Christine, they patched up their marriage and fought bitterly for custody of the child, Max. Nat moved to London and has barely been heard from since. Now 10 years on, she is back.
Starring: Justine Clarke, Ben Mendelsohn, Joel Tobeck, Catherine McClements, Matt Day, Kat Stewart, Blake Davis, Lincoln Younes, Eva Lazzaro, Georgia Flood, Lucia Mastrantone, John Brumpton, Reef Ireland.
Vince's best friend Gabriel Lucas returns from overseas to stay, and his long-standing and underlying attraction to Vince's wife Ally is recognised by everyone, except for her. A struggle develops for Max between his step-mother Christine and his birth-mother Nat.
Vince stuns Gabriel when he invites his mistress Em on their skiing trip. But when she is injured, he must rely on Gabriel to cover for him so that Ally doesn't become suspicious of their affair. Nat drags Ally out of the house for a boozy night. Influenced by Nat's carefree attitude, Ally behaves out of character.
Ally questions Em's presence on the ski trip and Vince shrewdly lies, convincing Ally that Em is actually Gabriel's girlfriend. When a party at the dead man's house is interrupted by the police, Max calls Nat trying to avoid implicating his father, Tim. But this only builds Christine's insecurities over Nat's growing presence in Max's life.
Tim's loyalty is tested when he is tapped to become Health Minister, but only if he deposes his mentor, Pat Mahady. The parents hold a crisis meeting, in shock over their kids' involvement with the dead body. Vince buys political leverage with Tim by blackmailing political journo Bryan Dougherty to prevent the story breaking and Max unravels when Romeo wins Charlotte.
