Description: Central character is based on Norman Shillingsworth, sophisticated and city educated, returns to the Northern Territory where he grew up. But the top end in 1929 is raw and uncompromising and riddled with prejudices; and Norman faces the harsh reality of coming to terms with his true origins in a very hostile atmosphere.
