After escaping an abusive marriage, reporter Beth Buckley risks her life trekking through the outback alone with only an Aborigine named Oatman to lead the way. Her solitary journey helps her discover that she doesn't need anything in her life--not even money or love and especially not fame.
She meets Cooper Jackson, a famous musician, and finds herself in a world of people who even though she has nothing the world values to offer, seem to need the only gift Beth doesn't want to share because she knows she will die if it falls into the hands of people she can't trust.
Meanwhile, a vindictive reporter, Cathy Colson is hot on his trail to ruin not only his life but his love for Beth.
As they race against time, who will win? And whose dream will come true?
