Synopsis
Beatie Bow, a young Victorian-era girl, is summoned from the past to contemporary Sydney by children chanting her name. 14-year-old Abigail Kirk follows her back to 1873, in the colony of New South Wales. Beatie's family believe Abigail is the promised 'Stranger' who will arrive to save 'The Gift' for future generations of Bows. Abigail is trapped in the past until she does what she was 'sent' to do, even though she doesn't know what this is. During her sojourn, she falls in love for the first time and gains a more mature perspective on her parents' relationship.Actors

During the Black Death of 14th century England, people in a remote Cumbrian mountain village listen with fear to tales of the gruesome plague that has engulfed the world. In an attempt to stave off the infection, they rely upon the visions of a boy, named Griffin, who has a reputation for having a kind of "second sight". With the backing of the village's most famous adventurer, a man named Connor, whom Griffin idolizes, a group of the townsfolk travel to a nearby cavern. Bringing good copper ore to be melted and cast into shape, they dig down into the earth, all the while racing against time and the coming of the next full moon, in an effort to place a holy cross on the steeple of "the biggest Church in all of Christendom" as an offering for God's protection.
