When Phryne arrives at an idyllic vineyard in the countryside to investigate a suspicious death in the past, she lands in the middle of an annual Wine Festival and the recent murder of her own 'client'. She feels obligated to investigate his death and continue with her original case, but the hostile townsfolk decide she's outstayed her welcome and do everything they can to drive her away. Phryne realizes that the scenic town has harbored grief over the loss of nearly all their able-bodied men forever a decade - but their loss has turned to anger, directed squarely at the German family who has run Voigts winery since the turn of the century. Hugh happily rescues dot from the threatening town as he nervously prepares for the most perfect, poetic proposal he can muster.

The Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is a thoroughly modern woman of the late 1920s operating in a mostly male world.
The glamorous "lady detective" goes about her work with a pistol close at hand-and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer.
To the dismay of Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, The Secret Life of Us), Phryne's investigations take her through the back alleys, jazz clubs, and shady markets of Melbourne.
Ignoring the dangers all around her, she seems to glide through life determined to enjoy every moment.
But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her.
