Australia, 1939. Sarah Ashley, un'aristocratica inglese, lascia Londra alla volta di Darwin, decisa a ricondurre a casa e al talamo coniugale il proprio consorte. Scortata da un mandriano brusco e attaccabrighe alla tenuta di Faraway Downs, Sarah scopre con sgomento la morte di Lord Ashley e la crisi in cui versa il ranch. L'incontro con una terra orgogliosa e selvaggia e l'affetto per Nullah, un orfano nato da madre aborigena e padre inglese, la convincono a restare e a risollevare le sorti della proprietà. Con l'aiuto di un mandriano innamorato (e ricambiato), di un contabile ubriaco, di un misterioso stregone e di un piccolo meticcio, Sarah condurrà la propria mandria a destinazione attraverso un territorio impervio, vincerà una concorrenza sleale, sopravvivrà a un attacco aereo giapponese e vivrà una spettacolare favola d'amore.
