Set over six decades, this powerful drama tells the stories of three cousins separated by circumstances, who spend a lifetime in search of each other.
Orphaned Mata (Heke) believes she has no whānau and lives out her lonely childhood in fear and bewilderment. Back home on the land, educated Makareta (Grace Smith) flees an arranged marriage to study law and begin the search for her missing cousin. She leaves behind cheeky yet dutiful Missy (House) who takes on her role of kaitiaki (guardian) of the land. As the years pass, loss of the family land seems imminent and the women's promise to bring their stolen cousin home seems more unlikely than ever, until a chance encounter changes everything
