'All the Rivers Run' is a story of the love between a woman, a man and the river that binds them together. English girl Philadelphia Gordon's (Sigrid Thornton) life is turned upside down when she is shipwrecked and orphaned off the coast of Victoria in 1890. She spends most of her life around Echuca, on the Murrey River, and invests some of her inheritance on a paddle wheeled riverboat. Her life is forever changed when she meets frontier paddleboat captain Brenton Edwards (John Waters), a cavalier river-man. It is the beginning for Philadelphia of a remarkable 10 years in her life. Her investment in the riverboat, is without knowing it the first step towards a turbulent marriage to a riverboat man, and indeed to the boats who ply their great trade along the mighty, unpredictable and perilous river.
