Gina Rinehart’s perfect family life is ripped apart when her mother Hope dies causing her father Lang to begin a dangerous downward spiral of grief and despair. In a loving attempt to help her ailing father, Gina employs a new housekeeper to help get him back on track… a gorgeous Filipino called Rose Lacson – not realising that it will be a decision that will tear apart their family for generations to come.

After the death of her husband Frank, Gina is determined to stabilize the family company which is spiraling into debt. As Lang becomes sicker Gina begins to go head to head with Rose Hancock beginning a two decade long public feud filled with murder accusations, drug charges and illegitimate half caste children, all played out in the gossip columns and front pages of newspapers around the country.
