Jessica background

Jessica

Young Jessica is wrongly admitted to a psychiatric hospital with the help of a struggling alcoholic attorney who has no other prospects in life.

Jessica, a tomboy farmgirl raised by a poor farming family in Yanco NSW, falls head over heels for Jack, the rich farmer in town. Their budding romance is derailed when her mother insists on Meg seducing him instead and faking a pregnancy to trick him into marrying her. The family remains oblivious to Jessica's true condition—she's actually pregnant with Jack's child. In a cruel twist of fate, they hide Jessica away from the town and send her to a mental asylum where she is locked away for years. Determined to gain her freedom and reclaim her baby, Jessica writes to a lawyer in hopes of regaining her liberty and reunite with Jack.
