Dr Mary Fortune leaves her home, family and friends in Scotland to answer the cries for help from the mining town of Kalgoorlie, in Western Australia. Despite knowing she will miss her son, and husband of 22 years, Dr Mary is excited about the challenge of moving to Kalgoorlie and optimistic about what the experience will be like. Dr Mary's arrival is welcome news for Kalgoorlie residents, who have been struggling to attract doctors for some time. "If you go on holidays," says local Dr Andrew Siegmund "we don't have someone to fill that gap. But it's not just Kalgoorlie struggling with staffing issues. The residents of Wagin have just been told their only doctor, Dr Alan Majid has resigned after only four months of his three year contract. "Why have the previous four doctors left?", asks Dr Majid, What is wrong? There has to be some problem somewhere". Despite his resignation, Dr Majid has agreed to stay in Wagin to teach medical student Nabilah Islam, during her country medicine term. Nabilah's four week placement in Wagin will be the first time she has ever travelled without her parents. Amidst the town politics of Wagin, how will Nabiliah cope away from home, and how will she find working under supervision of disgruntled Dr Majid?
