Former Sydney socialite Daisy Monroe (Rebecca Gibney) and ex-London lawyer Louis Oakley (Charles Edwards) continue to run a small vineyard in New Zealand while navigating their complicated love lives. Six months on from when we last saw them, Daisy and Louis are trying to oust William, the mysterious stranger who arrived at the end of season two claiming half of Oakley.
But it seems the annoying shanty-singer’s claim might be legitimate, so the Oakley crew must get crafty in their bid to oust him — especially as he seems to be ingratiating himself into the lives of their rivals Don (John Bach) and Marissa (Sarah Peirse) at Shimmering Lake.
