The Norther Territory, 1931: 12 years after participating in a brutal massacre that all but wiped out a Yolngu family group, ex-soldier Travis (Simon Baker) is given an ultimatum by his former commanding officer, Moran (Jack Thompson): hunt down Baywara (Sean Mununggurr), a survivor of the crime who has since become the leader of a “wild mob” of embittered Indigenous resistance fighters, or else be held accountable for the white men who were killed in the raid.
To do so, Travis enlists another survivor, Gutjuk (Jacob Junior Nayinggul), who has been raised on a mission since the murder of his parents, and just happens to be the nephew of the vengeful Baywara. And so, the stage is set for a bloody reckoning.
