Australia, 1937. Frieda, with her four children, left the city to follow her husband, Jack, to Cloncurry, a small town in Western Queensland, unaware of the tragedy and sorrow that lay ahead. Stability and happiness were what she craved more than anything else for her family. Jack, on the other hand, was obsessed with locating a copper motherlode in the abandoned mines and would sacrifice everything to find it, including the love she had for him. When they were forced to return to the city, Frieda discovered Jack’s secret, causing her frustrated love to turn to bitterness and a desire for revenge. So, when Frieda followed Jack back to Cloncurry at the outbreak of WWII, their lives and relationship were very different. She was determined to follow her own dream while Jack destroyed everything he had left. Jack’s Promises is based on a true story of a woman’s love for her children and her struggle to survive in the Australian Outback.
