'A young Scottish lawyer, Cameron Dunbar, arrives in Australia to construct an appeal for a young Aboriginal man who has been wrongly accused of a homicide in Townsville, North Queensland.

'Grappling with racial issues, office procedures and internal conspiracy, he is hailed for his success with the appeal process, only to find himself caught up in a much more complicated reason for his original acceptance as a representative in a homicide appeal.

'Memories of his deceased father, who served military time in Townsville during the Second World War, inadvertently assist in his search for information.

'A new employment endeavour finally leads to a conspiracy theory he had only suspected.

'Rules of immigration work lease in Australia cause him anxiety as he prepares to discover clarification of a theory that had been haunting him. A sense of romantic attachment is secured with a deep respect for the person who introduces him to the peaceful, mystical side of Aboriginal belief.'   (Publication summary)
