Set against the vast skies and unforgiving landscapes of Western Australia’s Wheatbelt in 1954, it follows the Tuck family as they try to rebuild their lives on a failing farm while facing unforgiving weather, grief, wartime scars and the consequences of secrets carried too long.

At it’s heart, Hope and Duty is a character driven story of family, belonging, dry Australian humour and the quiet courage of a generation that rarely called itself heroic.
