In 1953, the last great transcontinental air race from London to Christchurch is about to take off and it has already become famous as the "bride flight" for its cargo of brides-to-be flying out to join their fiancés on the other side of the world.

And Frank, a charismatic bachelor with big dreams for the future, whose path will continue to cross with each of the women as they build very different lives in New Zealand.
