"Gina goes to Africa to fulfil her dying brother's wish, but her corporate world is turned upside down when she learns she's guardian of her eight year old nephew she didn't know existed. How can she take up this responsibility when, three years ago, a child died whilst in her care? Besides, there's little time in her busy corporate life for rearing a boy, let alone knowing how to do that? Her brother's doctor promises her he will give her tips on rearing a boy, but Kam's promise includes wanting to find out what really lies behind her flashy exterior. His probing questions are way too personal for her and the fact that she's returning to Australia in two weeks' time is the only way she can keep him at bay. The people of Gumboli village reach out and show her the true meaning of love, making her question her life's purpose. It isn't until Justin's life is threatened that she realises he is her only living relative and she has a responsibility to save his life. During their care for Justin, her attraction to Kam deepens, but in order to commit to a relationship with him, she has to overcome her prejudices, and Kam has to let go of his painful past. Are they willing to confront their differences, forget the past and step out in faith for the future God has planned for them?"
