Two boys find a penny in the dust of Scott's Creek, a small country
town in central Queensland. The public squabble over ownership of
the coin causes their father, the local Blacksmith to mete out some
rough punishment. In his rage, he seriously harms the eldest boy,
Lindsay, starting a chain reaction of events that changes the lives
of so many. It is 1899, and Australia is recruiting soldiers to
fight in South Africa. Forced onto a ship and away from his family,
Lindsay's father finds that he is the only one with the knowledge
of a plot to destroy many lives. He has no way to warn his fellow
enlistees, and the fact that he is widely hated by most in his home
town does not help him in his quest to bring down the man
responsible. Follow Malachi Tanner and his sons Lindsay and Henry
as the story takes them through war, survival, joy and tears over
the span of almost 100 years, up to a modern investigation that
still needs to know exactly what happened at the turn of the last
century.
