Todd's brief stint in the army is over; life-changing injuries result in the military medivac-ing him home. The subsequent hospitalisation and rehabilitation stretch Todd to his limits, but with support from his family, he returns to Westbourne to learn to live with his restricted mobility. When a temporary job option becomes available, Todd relocates to Brisbane, where he encounters his rehab nurse. When a vindictive workmate turns his life upside down, Todd returns home to lick his wounds. With no future to look forward to, Todd spirals into depression.

When Todd meets Myra, her equine therapy program is the boost he needs to get his motivation back. After becoming roommates, the two become more involved than they realise. The arrival of Todd's former girlfriend splits the roommates, and Myra turns to another man to heal the hurt.

Even after a series of dangerous incidents threaten Myra, Todd resists his attraction to the feisty redhead. She was wrong for all the right reasons, but despite his resistance, he realises that his initial feelings for her have evolved. When Todd finally moves to discuss his feelings, Myra refuses his advances; a series of men, Todd included, have made her reluctant to become involved with another man. After so much hurt, can Todd convince Myra to take a chance on him, or will his feelings remain one-sided?
