Synopsis

In remote Pilbara country in Western Australia, troubled 16-year-old Indigenous girl, Murra, finds herself abandoned after an explosive incident with her drug-fueled mother. On the cusp of being lost in the ‘Child Protection’ system, an unusual lifeline is thrown her way by her uncle Ian, a local cop. Before Murra knows it, she is careening down a dusty highway with a minibus full of ‘at risk’ teenagers and two charismatic team leaders. Will this be the lifeline Murra needs or the catalyst for her downfall?
