Travis Hurley, a detective worn down by his work and his own personal struggles, travels to a small mining town in the Australian outback to look into the killing of an Aboriginal woman, Charlotte Hayes, a case that has stayed unsolved for two decades. He begins by questioning the victim's family and local residents, and as the facts he uncovers become increasingly uncomfortable, the investigation changes how he sees the case and the community around it.

The film is written and directed by Ivan Sen, his sixth feature following Yellow Fella, Toomelah, Mystery Road and Goldstone, and it continues his interest in crime stories set in rural Australia. Simon Baker plays Hurley, with Rob Collins, Natasha Wanganeen, Nicholas Hope, Mark Coe and Joshua Warrior in supporting roles. David Jowsey, Greer Simpkin and Rachel Higgins produced the film, which runs 108 minutes.

Reception is mixed. A critics' rating of 7.8/10 from 56 reviews indicates that reviewers responded considerably more warmly than general audiences have: on IMDb it holds 6.2/10 from around 2,500 votes. A 6/10 on TMDB from a much smaller number of votes points to the same gap between professional and viewer opinion.
