Fortunately, Cindie is in radio contact with Jim Vernon, the overseer at Baanya Station, one hundred and fifty miles away. But is there more than a friendship developing over the airwaves? And will Jim be there for Cindie when she needs him most?

Meanwhile, Cindie has her suspicions about Nick, and his glamorous companion Erica Alexander. Could they be behind the mystery of what is happening to her mother's inheritance?
