In 1806, William Thornhill is sentenced to New South Wales for life where he is drawn into a terrifying conflict that will leave a bloody and indelible stain.
"In 1813 ex-convict Will Thornhill settles on the beautiful Hawkesbury River. But his plans are soon overshadowed by misunderstandings and conflict with the local Indigenous people."
"Will's increasing desperation to hold onto 'his' land despite the resistance of the local Indigenous people, leads to his involvement in a brutal incident which will haunt him forever."
