But this year the ominous storm clouds only serve to remind them of trouble brewing - an Aborgine guerrilla fighter in the district with some of his men is causing havoc indiscriminately and placing both Zack Hamilton and William Oatley in great danger. As the days drag on, the Aborigines struggle for survival involves them all in a vicious waiting game until men with revenge in their hearts have to face the truth about themselves.
