Newlyweds Joseph and Harriet Blackstone emigrate from England to
New Zealand, along with Joseph's mother Lilian, in search of new
beginnings and prosperity. But the harsh land near Christchurch
where they settle threatens to destroy them almost before they
begin. When Joseph finds gold in a creek bed, he hides the
discovery from both his wife and mother, and becomes obsessed with
the riches awaiting him deep in the earth. Abandoning his farm and
family, he sets off alone for the new goldfields over the Southern
Alps, a moral wilderness where many others, under the seductive
dreams of the "colour," rush to their destinies and doom.
