The Kimberley in West Australia is home to various Aboriginal communities. Today, times are changing, causing limbo and distress. Some have given up. Others choose to fight both past and present demons to bring a change for the better to their people. Gabriel and Peter are the best of friends and try to keep the ancient cultural traditions alive, with almost no support from the rest of their community. Felicity struggles to keep her family together after years of drinking and neglect, and teenagers Billy and Jordan are brothers who meet for the first time.
