Faith and Monty are both looking for love... but are they looking in the wrong direction?

Outback Dreams centres around Faith Forrester, who finds herself at a crossroads. At thirty, single, and residing on a farm in a small Western Australian town, Faith is weary of being treated like a servant by her brother and father. Ten years ago, her mother passed away from breast cancer, leaving Faith treading water ever since. Eager to prove she’s accomplished something significant in life, she is also searching for love.

Daniel 'Monty' Montgomery has been Faith’s best friend for as long as he can remember. After his parents sold the family property and moved to Perth when he was ten, Monty has dreamed of having his own farm. For the past decade, he has worked various odd jobs and saved every dollar towards this goal. Now with enough for a deposit, he feels closer to his dream than ever before, yet something still feels incomplete.

As Faith begins a mission to raise funds for a charity dear to her heart and Monty's dream property appears on the market, everything seems to be aligning for them both. However, a drunken night leads to them sleeping together, presenting a new set of challenges for the best friends.

Both Monty and Faith are ready to find a life partner and settle down, though neither anticipated that love could be so close at hand in Outback Dreams.
