Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
A disturbing experience of the treatment of Aborigines of Australasia and the vengeful feelings of victims who have lost everything. The film buttresses the opinion that films from Australia and New Zealand are a breed apart.
