An outlaw is goaded into taking on justice at its most brutal in this hard-edged Western set in Australia in the 1880s. Charlie Burns and his brother Mike are two siblings on the run from the law after their career as criminals went too far when they helped kill a pregnant woman. Charlie and Mike are captured by police after a bloody shoot-out, and the brothers are handed over to Capt. Stanley, a British lawman sent to Australia to help bring order to the colonies. There is a third Burns brother, Arthur, with a much longer rap sheet than his siblings and a reputation for hiding out in villages so lawless the police are afraid to visit them. Stanley tells Charlie and Mike that it's Arthur he really wants, and that he's willing to set them free if they can find Arthur and murder him. Mike refuses to have any part of this, but Charlie, after learning this is his only hope to save himself from the hangman, agrees, and sets out to find and execute his brother. As Charlie scours the backwaters of Australia, he develops an ally in Jellon Lamb, a good man who has turned to crime since coming to the new land. In time, Charlie finds his brother, but isn't certain if he can carry out his mission. Meanwhile, Stanley struggles to bring a European sense of civility to the rough and tumble land he now calls home, while his wife, Martha, becomes the focus of the lustful appetites of the men in town. 2005
