The Latimer sisters are famous across New South Wales for their beauty, wit, and ambition. But as they come of age, the four twins - Edda, Tufts, Grace, and Kitty - chafe against the limited prospects awaiting women. Together, they enroll in a nursing program, plunging into the demands of hospital life. As they encounter new people and challenges, the sisters must navigate love, heartbreak, and their own evolving dreams. Their journeys are sometimes joyful, sometimes heartbreaking - but always bittersweet.
