A passion for photography draws two stories together across time to Mackenzie Crossing. Neville 'Pom' Darling, is on the hunt for the perfect photograph. Skye Stewart, is searching for her long lost grandfather. It's 1939, and Neville, escaping an unhappy marriage and his memories of the Great War, finds himself in Mackenzie Crossing on the day of the terrible Black Friday bushfires. He meets the beautiful Georgie Mackenzie and in an instant knows that she is the subject he has been looking for.
