When Maggie and PJ are called to a wealthy grazier's to investigate a wool theft they are greeted by a mob of naked sheep instead of the empty wool shed they expected to find. The grazier points the finger at an ex-shearer and old-time rival, but Maggie and PJ discover he is not the only person with reason to dislike the grazier. Other suspects include the recently sacked manager of the property and the grazier's own daughter who has her own powerful reasons to resent her father. As they investigate the theft, Maggie and PJ discover a secret love affair between the daughter and the son of the man he most despises, the ex-shearer. Could the two of them be planning to use the stolen wool clip to start a new life together? The boy is a talented pianist and Dash's mum, Beth McKinley, is leading a group of citizens raising money for him to study music overseas.

Dash, meanwhile, is recovering from her first chemotherapy treatment for cancer and finding it difficult return to work and get on with her life — until the missing wool is found in the possession of her mum. Dash decides to put aside her fears and clear her mother's good name.

The discovery of the kids' secret love leads to a renewal of hostility between their two families. But when their children are accused of the theft, their parents are forced to come forward, revealing a guilty past of lost love, deception and betrayal.
