Yola returns home to the Eastern Cape from Chile for her father's funeral. She's reluctant to be back and wants to leave as soon as possible, until she meets Themba, a handsome stranger who roars into town.

Yola finds out that her father has left her the farm, but if it weren't for a stipulation in his will, she would happily turn it over to her sister, Sienna, and Aunt Dora. Later, Themba comes around the farmhouse to visit her.

When Yola tries to settle the land claim lodged against the farm by Lazarus Zita, she discovers that Themba is his grandson, and that Lazarus has disappeared. Victor, a member of Themba's bike club, comes to town looking for him.

Things begin to unravel as Yola questions her own view of reality, especially after she makes an unsettling discovery in her father's attic. Lindiwe, Themba's aunt, begins to act as if something very strange has got into her.

Sienna is convinced that Yola is ill and in need of help. Bernoldus makes a startling discovery in the house and wants to tell Yola about it. Meanwhile, Victor returns, as threatened, to collect the money that Themba owes him.

Themba searches for Yola but can't find her. He learns that Lazarus's land claim has been resolved. Sienna uncovers her father's art in the attic, a discovery that shakes her to her core. Yola asks Clara what her drawings mean.

It's the day of the Spring Festival. Yola and Themba, both fugitives, must work together to save the Spring Princess before it's too late.
