Travis Hurley, a detective damaged by years of investigating on the bangs, arrives in a small Australian outback town to investigate a cold case, the disappearance twenty years earlier of a young Aboriginal woman. He bonds with the victim's fractured family, including her lonely, disillusioned brother Charlie and Emma, his sister who looks after the children.

As the story unfolds, a series of truths are revealed, highlighting the complexities of the injustice suffered by the Aboriginals
