Set primarily in the period 1980-2002, House of Hancock tells the epic story of the Hancock dynasty and the love triangle that emerged between the father Lang (Sam Neill), his daughter Gina (Mandy McElhinney) and his beautiful Filipina housekeeper Rose (Peta Sergeant).
Lang and Gina are inseparable, the perfect team, and Gina is confident she will soon inherit the family business. But their relationship is rocked by a series of tumultuous events. First, Lang is furious when Gina marries a man old enough to be her father. Then Lang’s beloved wife Hope dies. In an attempt to help her ailing father, Gina employs a new housekeeper to get him back on track, Rose Lacson from the Philippines, not realising this will be a decision that will tear their family apart.
What follows is an increasingly bitter public feud lasting two decades: filled with forbidden love, murder accusations, drug charges, illegitimate children, court cases and epic betrayal, all played out in the media, and all for Gina to retain control over the staggering Hancock family fortune.
