Holly Ringland's book was adapted for the screen by Australian showrunner Sarah Lambert. The story focuses on Alycia Debnam-Carey's Alice Hart, an Australian woman with a mysterious story. She used to live with her parents, but when she was 9 years old, both her mother and father were killed in a dreadful fire.

After her parents passing, she began living with her grandmother, June Hart, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. Alice gradually learned that her family had a haunting past and terrifying secrets that were waiting to be exposed.

Episode 3 of the show, titled Part 3: Lantern Bush, ended with Alice's parents, Agnes and Clem, leaving Thornfield flower farm. This farm had been owned by the Harts for generations but could only be passed on to a female heir. June's son, Clem, learned about this and got heartbroken. The couple's dream was to settle on the farm, but it had been shattered. With no other solution, Clem and Agnes decided to skip town.

In a recent interview with Parade, show lead Sigourney Weaver revealed which subject matter from the book and show moved her the most.

She said,

"I think the spirit of Holly’s book, and the spirit of the writing of these shows is, yes, these women have a history of damage, and yet when you are watching the show, for the most part, these women are so there for each other and there is so much humor and resiliency and Australian friendship."
