Synopsis

When Georgie’s boss-turned-lover, Nico, offers her a high-stakes job in Canada, she wants to say no. But burdened by debt and swayed by Nico’s promises that the gig will be quick and lucrative, Georgie feels she has no choice - even though it means leaving behind the people she loves the most.

Swapping an Australian mining town for the rugged Albertan oilfields, Georgie’s finally getting her life back on track. But as the stakes rise at work and at home, Georgie discovers the real reason she got the job  -  and just what she stands to lose.
