Australie-Occidentale, 1958. Depuis des générations, les MacBride vivent à Meredith Downs, une ferme de cinq mille hectares perdue au coeur de l’outback. Quand, sur une route déserte, le patriarche Phil dévie de sa trajectoire pour éviter un kangourou, c’est toute la famille qui vole en éclats.

Outback Western Australia, 1958. For generations, the MacBrides have lived on a remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it’s an ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time still roams untamed. One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered. Fate comes for them again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness.
