Early one Christmas morning in a small town deep in rural Australia Graeme Sweetapple is heading home with a truck full of stolen steers when he comes across an upended ute that has hit a tree. He is about to get involved with Luke an environmental protestor who isn't what he seems; a washed-up local politician Caroline Statham who is searching for a sense of purpose but whose businessman husband seems to be sliding into corruption; and Carson who is wild bound to no one and determined to escape her circumstances. Into their midst comes Retribution a legendary horse worth a fortune. Her disappearance triggers a cycle of violence and retaliation that threatens the whole community. As tensions build they must answer one question: is true retribution ever possible - or even desirable?
