Elizabeth Harvey, thrown into London's Newgate Prison in 1790 for a crime she didn't commit, finds herself transported to Australa. As maidservant to a surgeon in Sydney Cove, she is faced with the harsh reality of eking out life from the stark new continent, and the real convicts who were sent there too.
