Now that Maddy Goodchild's daughter, Sophie, has taken off to see the world, Maddy is feeling bored with her life. Still only in her late 30s, she has a lottery win with friend Rachel, so she throws in her office job and they hit Europe together. Rachel, a teacher and proponent of healthy living, starts drinking and sleeping around, while Maddy, a self-proclaimed bad girl, busies herself with snorkelling and sightseeing. It seems the travel bug has bitten her - and Australia is her next destination.
