A string of quilt thefts have been occurring around town and when Lucinda finds hers, she is curious and reckless when she trades Rob's cows, worth NZ$400,000, for it. Rob is beyond words in his rage and loses his voice as he drives away, leaving Lucinda to worry for days before their planned wedding.
Rob leaves Lucinda and sleeps in his truck. Soon he finds a tiny sandal left on the ground by mysterious entities known as "The Jackson's".
