East of Everything

While working on a book about Bhutan, Art Watkins receives news that his mother Nancy is dying. Despite his panicked dash through the Himalayas, he misses the plane and moments later it crashes. He then receives news that his mother has died.

Vance races to the resort to find Art packing to leave, but is able to convince his brother to wait while they contest Nancy's will on the basis of her sanity.

Vance convinces Art they can comply with the terms of their mother's Will if he 'covers' for his brother's temporary absences, but Nancy's solicitor gets wind of their plan - and Art realises he can't trust his brother or abandon his angry son.

Just as Art thinks he has made the right decision to stay in Broken Bay, his son goes missing and his overseas girlfriend arrives to complicate his life.

With his son and his laptop still missing and his overseas girlfriend and Eve putting their heads together, Art is completely cornered - until his son allows him the opportunity to be forgiven.

Art musters all his resources to defend a heritage proposal to save the resort he never thought he'd be so happy to come home to.
