Jack's Promises is an Australian Outback story about how a young family struggles to survive in the bush.

Australia, 1937. Frieda, with her four children, leave the city to follow her husband, Jack, to Cloncurry, a small town in Western Queensland, unaware of the tragedy and sorrow that lies ahead. Stability and happiness are what she craves more than anything else for her family. Jack, on the other hand, is obsessed with locating a copper motherlode in the abandoned mines and will sacrifice everything to find it, including the love she has for him. When they are forced to return to the city, Frieda discovers Jack's secret, causing her frustrated love to turn to bitterness and a desire for revenge. So, when Frieda follows Jack back to Cloncurry at the outbreak of WWII, their lives and relationship are very different. She is determined to follow her own dream while Jack destroys everything he has 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.
