Charlotte Gibson is a lawyer with a brilliant career ahead of her. As her father Ray says, she could be the next female Aboriginal Waleed Aly. But she has other ideas. First of all, it’s Christmas. Second of all, she’s in love.

The thing is, her fiance, Francis Smith, is not what her family expected - he’s unemployed, he’s an experimental composer… and he’s white! Bringing home and his conservative parents to meet her family on their ancestral and is a bold move. Will he stand up to the scrutiny? Or will this romance descend into farce?

Love is never just black and white It’s complicated by class, politics, ambition and too much wine over dinner. But for Charlotte and Francis it’s mostly complicated by family. Secrets are revealed, prejudices exposed and old rivalries resurface. What can’t be solved through diplomacy can surely be settled by a good old-fashioned dance-off. They’re just that kind of family.
