- Summary:
-
Jonathon White is a retired lawyer who has spent his lifetime defending the desperate and downtrodden. At a time when he wants to simply slow down and enjoy his golden years with his beloved wife, Bec, his life is turned upside down when his own son, struggling to survive on society's margins, comes close to death. As Jonathon's world is rocked, he finds solace with Bec, far away in a rustic log cabin tucked away in the Australian bush. There, they befriend a young Aboriginal student who is on a quest to discover the secrets of his ancestors. Their relationship flourishes as the young man finds a special place in their hearts. The idyllic setting is broken by an aggressive zealot, an old man trapped in a time when one existed to serve God and country in that order. Tensions simmer, to the point of a violent and emotional eruption. In the aftermath, Jonathon is faced with decisions which challenge the very core of his worth as a person. When tragedy strikes, he is plunged further into a desperate search of self discovery and forgiveness.
