Estranged from her family. Natasha is making a life for herself in Darwin when her sister calls with bad news. Their mother is ill, and has only a few months to live. Confused and conflicted, Natasha returns to the home she fled many years before. But her father, an evangelical Christian, has not changed - he is still the domineering yet magnetic man she ran from, and her sisters and mother are still in his thrall.
