In the Port Macquarie penal settlement for second offenders, gentleman convict Hugh Monsarrat hungers for freedom.

Monsarrat and housekeeper, Mrs Mulrooney, suspect the commandant’s second-in-command, Captain Diamond, a cruel man who shares history with Honora. Then Diamond has Mrs Mulrooney arrested for the murder. Knowing his friend will hang if she is tried, Monsarrat knows he must find the real killer.
