'Michael Delaney had answered his country's call to arms. In June of 1916, like so many other young Australian men, Michael found himself fighting for King and country on a blood soaked battlefield somewhere in France. Little did he know of the events taking place in his home town of Wangaratta. A father's death, a grandfather's secret, and an outlaw's mysterious message from beyond the grave; a message that would ultimatlely send three young boys on a journey of discovery through the rugged bushland of north eastern Victoria, leaving a brother to carry an agonising guilt that would haunt him for the rest of his life.'
