In an outback town, Jay Swan, an Indigenous cowboy detective, returns home to solve the murder of a teenage Indigenous girl whose body is found under the highway trucking route out of town.

Robbo: Guess he just knows the difference, I suppose. You know, between a wild dog and a wild kind of normal dog. See more » |
