Red Dust opens with Gemma Sinclair grieving the death of her
husband, Adam, in a horrific plane crash and learning she's
inherited the ten thousand hectare station his family has worked
for generations. Despite huge scepticism from surrounding
landowners, Gemma decides not to sell Billbinya, disregarding
Adam's dying words that he's in trouble and she must sell the
station. As if the job of keeping the station going isn't enough, a
wave of innuendo sweeps through the local community about Adam's
involvement in cattle and sheep duffing. There are even whispers
the plane crash was no accident. A visit from the police confirms
the rumours, with Gemma discovering that not only was Adam
involved, but has indirectly implicated her by using Billbinya as a
holding station for the stolen stock. Intent on clearing her name,
Gemma determines to get to the bottom of what was going on. In the
process, she's shocked to discover the masterminds behind the
duffing are two former school friends, and that a trusted stock
agent and good friend are somehow involved. When Gemma is finally
cleared of any wrongdoing, she decides to put the past behind her
and return to the family farm - a new love by her side.
