'An aboriginal man, Stuart Wilkins (David Kennedy) is arrested for taking part in a land rights demonstration, after the death of his father. His white wife Alison (Susan Leith) leaves him and takes their son Tommy (Jamie Agius). Seven years later, Stuart returns to Sydney, determined to re-establish contact with his son. When his ex-wife and her father (Ray Meagher) will not allow it, Stuart goes to court to get access.'
