The three-part series premiered on Showcase in May 2011 and follows two working-class families whose lives become intertwined when they share a sprawling house in Perth. Directed by Matthew Saville and scripted by Winton himself alongside Ellen Fontana, the drama explores themes of redemption, family secrets, and the search for belonging across decades.
