Description
Whether you’re new in town or have been there for generations, when you’re facing the driest, hottest summer in decades it pays to belong. While the volunteers of the Lost River Rural Fire Brigade extinguish fires, the relations between its members continue to smoulder. Lost River’s newest resident Lill has permanently moved to the 25-hectare weekender she and her husband Perry have been setting up for a couple of years. Lill learns that if you want a community you have to join in. ‘Backa’ Burke is the ‘good bloke’ at the fire station, but is in a tempestuous marriage with his Russian wife Svettie; their shop is failing and relations are tense. Fifi has just found out she’s pregnant to Joey, and she doesn’t want to marry him just to make it all respectable. Flames aren’t the only danger this town will need to fight/
