Overview (Goal: 160-220 words):
Bess Denyar, an upper middle class doctor, continues to navigate the significant consequences of discovering she was adopted. This revelation has introduced her to a biological family of drag racers living in the outer suburbs, known as the Wheelers. As Bess attempts to manage the fallout of this adoption bombshell, she finds herself caught between two distinct social tribes. She must juggle the complexities of her relationship with her overbearing adoptive mother, Margaret, and her loving but slightly spoiled husband, Danny Bright. The narrative also follows the lives of her twin children, Oscar and Edwina, who attend a private school. Bess's life is further complicated by her newly discovered, delightfully bogan family, the Wheelers. The season explores the tension and connections between these two families living at opposite ends of the freeway. Bess remains at the center of this cultural divide, managing the interpersonal dynamics of her posh upbringing and her unexpected biological heritage while maintaining her professional life and family stability.
