'Two police officers - male and female - are assigned to escort an Aboriginal woman from an outback town to stand trial in Broken Hill for the murder of a publican who raped her. They are tracked by a Kadaitcha man, an agent of death, a concept Aboriginal culture shares with other cultures. The film sets white against black law and renders it fallible by the way gender, class and race intersect with each other in the characters of the two police officers and their prisoner.'
