On the run from a jealous husband, war hero Christian Holland hides out in Vienna as he waits for his troubles back in Australia to blow over. Alone in his misery, he questions the decisions that have led him to his fate. But a chance meeting with a mysterious oriental prodigy offers rewards beyond his wildest dreams but at a price he may be unwilling to pay.
Meanwhile, former paramour Alison Benaud juggles two lovers and in her new found confidence pushes Christian too far. Challenged to cross her own moral boundaries, she is confronted by a spectre from her past that could prove to be her bridge too far.
