‘This year everything changes and life is about to get a whole lot more complicated for resident bad boy Dr Hugh Knight (Rodger Corser). With his year of exile in rural Whyhope finally over, Hugh’s plans to return to his high-flying city lifestyle are thrown into chaos by a triple threat of family tragedy, financial woes and loves-gone-wrong.’
