S1, E1: It’s 1969. Defiant country girl, Viv Maguire, wakes to find she’s been drugged by her parents and sent to the city to hide her pregnancy at Stanton House – a home for unwed mothers in Sydney’s Kings Cross. On the same day, Joan Millar, 28, steps off the plane from London and commences work as a midwife at the adjoining hospital - Kings Cross General. Joan is nursing a broken heart and hiding a few secrets of her own. When Joan is called to assess Viv’s pregnancy she comes into conflict with the Head of Obstetrics, Dr Patrick McNaughton. He’s more than a little intrigued by Joan. And attracted. Meanwhile, Viv encounters Shirley, a mystery woman who has admitted herself to Stanton House. She’s older than the other Stanton House girls and has a lover in Kings Cross. Unlike the other girls who are locked into this place, Shirley seems to come and go as she pleases. When one of the Stanton House girls, Annie Carmichael, goes into labour, Viv uses the distraction to escape into Kings Cross with some of her new roommates… to meet Mick Jagger who has just arrived in Australia to film the ‘Ned Kelly’ feature. The birth of Annie’s baby is Joan’s first at the hospital and she’s shocked by the treatment Annie receives. The removal of Annie’s baby for adoption sets Joan on a mission to change this system. Guest cast includes Ryan Johnson, Maya Stange, Ben O’Toole and Emma Birdsall.
