A drive involving one thousand head of cattle crosses difficult Outback terrain. The journey is threatened by the extent of the revenge being pursued.
The cattle operation reaches Darwin, where an army deal creates a direct contest with King Carney and his men. Draconian race laws introduce a further threat and create pressure to capitulate.
Nullah is forced to choose between family and heritage while World War II approaches. A sacrifice for Nullah is followed by Drover's realization of what matters most, just as bombs begin falling on Darwin.
