Spoilers ahead

On Middle Island off the coast of Warrnambool, the tiny Australian little penguins have found a home, but the foxes have learned to swim to the island and have decimated the colony. Emily Marsh [Sarah Snook] walks the shoreline, counting the remaining penguins after another fox attack, flanked by her co-worker Zoe [Tegan Higginbotham], her colleague Paul Watt [John Leary], and her friend Jack Jones [Richard Davies]. The atmosphere is quiet but tense, as the team pieces together what the island needs to recover from the losses and what it will take to keep the penguins safe in the long term.
