Abbie's brother Jim has been missing, presumed drowned on his way by boat to Australia, for nearly 20 years. The twin boys he left behind are almost men now. Their mother has always claimed that Jim is dead, but one of the twins, Amos, is certain that he is still alive and living in Australia. Amos leaves his mother, brother, and Aunt Abbie behind to search for his father there and finally, finds him, albeit with a new name and a new family. At first Amos is incensed and resentful, but gradually father and son find a way of getting along. Amos decides to stay and make a life for himself in Australia. He and Jim set up a soon flourishing business building luxury hotels. Then, just as Amos feels contented at last, married to the girl of his dreams, a stranger walks into his life, and threatens to ruin all that he's strived for.
