"The Sullivans" is the story of a typical Melbourne family torn by the terror and uncertainty of World War II. This epic series tells of the quiet courage of ordinary people living through extraordinary times and features war action sequences in almost every theatre of the world conflict.

John (Andrew McFarlane) makes a surprising and crucial decision about his future when his relationship with Sue (Belinda Giblin) ends. Maggie's (Vikki Hammond)'s secret past is revealed when her daughter, Alice (Megan Williams), makes contact. Mrs. Jessup (Vivean Gray) also has an unexpected visit from her nephew Michael (John Walton). When the Navy evacuation of allied troops from German occupied Crete is abandoned, the boys of the 2/7th must fend for themselves.
