The series follows the life of Helen Tremain, the Remote Area Nurse, charged with providing medical services to the remote Torres Strait Islanders community.

Helen Tremaine returns to a remote island in Australia's far north Torres Strait where she had previously worked as the Remote Area Nurse (aka RAN). Helen has a talent for breaking rules and taking on the bureaucracy. That, along with local politics, love affairs and a savage outbreak of Dengue Fever, RAN draws you into the world of a woman who yearns to belong, and a community who love her but want her gone. Filmed entirely on location on Masig Island in the Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia.
