Lucy's life was supposed to be idyllic once she and her family moved to sun-soaked Oz - but it couldn't be more of a mess.

No sooner have they unpacked their Marmite, than Lucy catches her darling husband Jasper inflagrante. With her best friend Renee. In one double blow, she loses the two people she trusted most - and now has to fend for herself.

While Lucy battles her daughter (low self esteem is hereditary - you get it from your teenagers) and desperately tries to turn herself into an Aussie love goddess to win Jasper back, she meets Jack "Lockie" McLachlan. He's a rugged lifeguard with plenty of experience in rescuing damsels in distress. But Lucy can do without any further complications in her life right now. The only question is, without Lockie's kiss of life, will she sink or swim?
