When his father dies, Bobby Blue decides to leave the Mount Hay
cattle station where they worked side by side and take a job in
town as the new constable's offsider. Daniel, the constable, his
wife Esme and their two girls, Irie and Miriam, are new to the
western country and, struggling to understand its inhabitants,
invite Bobby to stay in a hut on their property where he is
educated alongside their daughters. But there's a simmering
tension, building quietly and strongly, beneath the overt goodwill.
And when first Irie then Miriam become involved in a dispute that
threatens violence, there's an abrupt and ruthless change in
attitude from Daniel and Esme towards Bobby. When tragedy strikes
at Coal Creek the true nature of the perceived friendship is laid
bare with consequences that will haunt Bobby for decades.
