Sent to live with her grandmother, June (Weaver), Alice takes up residence at Thornfield flower farm, where she learns that there are secrets within secrets about her as well as her family’s past. Set against the backdrop of Australia’s gorgeous natural landscapes, native wildflowers and plants are used to express the inexpressible.

Along with featuring Weaver and Debnam-Carey, the series stars Asher Keddie as Sally Morgan, Leah Purcell as Twig North, and Frankie Adams as Candy Blue.
Additional cast members include Alexander England, Charlie Vickers, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Sebastián Zurita, Alyla Browne, and Xavier Samuel.
