'On a sweltering summer’s day, a boy dies after a deadly one-punch attack on a Sydney beach. Grief-stricken, the victim’s single mother, Laura, places her faith in the courts to deliver justice – but instead, seventeen-year-old Jaydon avoids prison and is placed in an anger management program working with Ben, a famous horse whisperer, rehabilitating wild brumbies. Deep in the Snowy Mountains, Jaydon learns to let go of his anger, while an increasingly disillusioned Laura embraces hers.' (Introduction)
