City attorney Drew Ellis finds himself a long way from home as he joins the Aboriginal Legal Service in the remote Kimberley region of north Western Australia.

Racist leaflets and lack of faith from the people he is trying to help put Drew in a bad temper; Sam and Drew seem determined to stay on different sides of the fence.

The team race to save a young girl from abuse, but both the law and the predator's ties inside the community and the court make the task seem impossible.

What begins as a relaxing weekend during festival time in Broome, quickly spirals out of control as Drew receives an ultimatum; a tragedy for two people lands one in hospital and the other in prison.

After the festival, Archie and Clarry face court and possible prison-time; Sam makes a tragic discovery about his son as Drew comes to a regretful decision about seeing his family.

Drew's replacement arrives with the wet season, Clarry struggles with prison, and Sam's son forces him to make a surprise decision.
