Synopsis

On the white frontier in mid-nineteenth century Australia, a lone, bloodied woman arrives at a traveller's rest in the midst of a violent desert storm with a shocking story to tell.

Aborigines have allegedly murdered her husband and stolen her infant child.

But an Aboriginal woman has a different story to tell.

What would cause a missionary's wife to lie?

What chance does the word of an Aboriginal woman have against hers?

A chilling mystery that draws together the lives of four extraordinary women and their men, all struggling to survive in a hostile and misunderstood landscape.

(1 act, 4 male, 4 female).
