Jim Turner receives news of the death of his friend, the third of a group of five who were involved in the murder of an Aboriginal woman and her baby many years before. Believing that she cursed them to all die violent deaths, Jim feels his own is inevitable. While travelling with his wife and child and the fifth member of the original party, a violent incident leads to him being blinded and to the death of his remaining friend. Turner suffers for years before finally dying, all the while claiming that his final sight before being blinded was of an Aboriginal woman and her child staring at him.
