Playing for Keeps

Teacher Paige Dunkeley moves to Melbourne to be with her boyfriend Daniel Fletcher, a footballer and the newest member of the Southern Jets Football Club. At a barbecue for the team, Paige meets the wives and girlfriends of the players; Kath, Tahlia, Maddy and Jessie. After a poor start to the pre-season, the team's coach, Brian Rickards announces that the players are returning to training camp the following day. Tahlia and the team's captain Connor Marrello also announce their engagement, while Kath and Brian later go into the city to continue their respective affairs. During a team bonding exercise at the camp, Jessie's husband Jack Davies dies while kayaking.

Following a devastating tragedy, the Southern Jets players and their families try to wrap their heads around the unspeakable events that happened.

The inquest begins to heat up in front of the cameras and behind the scenes. News breaks of an alleged affair, and Tahlia takes a less than tactful approach with her future mother-in-law.

Determined to make amends, the women band together to bribe Paige into forgiving them with a down-and-dirty girls night out. Rusty makes a shocking decision that will alter his life forever.

Rusty's brave move sparks mixed responses from the football club. Despite Daniel's reluctance, Paige defiantly posts a public message of support, while Kath grapples with Andrew and Brian's decision.

Tahlia continues to plan the engagement party, with no expense or elaborate detail spared. Connor's guilt gets the better of him, leading to a devastating confession. How will Tahlia react?

Tahlia and Connor attend counselling in a bid to save their shattered relationship, but witnessing a moment of intimacy between Kath and Conner leads to a catastrophic blow up.

The truth behind Jack's death is finally revealed. Who was responsible? And more importantly, who was involved in covering it up?
