[edit]

Twentysomething Paula (Jessica De Gouw) meets Merv (Alex Russell), her dream boyfriend out of nowhere. While not knowing anything about Merv's background, Paula approaches marriage with the mysterious Merv.

James (Sullivan Stapleton) comes “fresh out of prison in Sydney” and is looking forward to pick up where he left off with Merv. Soon after, Paula finds out that Merv spent four years in jail on manslaughter charges. Little did Paula know that the relationship between these two ex-cons is more than just a fellowship in Prison. The presence of James exposes Merv's criminal history, jeopardises his future with Paula, and brings many conflicts to Merv's emotions.[3]
