In 1830s squalid London, young Samuel Stack has great expectations when given work at the prestigious antiquities firm of Folk & Finch. But things there aren't what they seem and when Sam is inadvertently caught up in a fraud scandal he and his family are forced to flee to Australia under assumed names. Arriving in New South Wales in the company of the enigmatic Martin Rammage, Sam finds his freedom again threatened when a betrayal exposes his identity and past. With little choice, he is once more on the run, this time to the Port Phillip district where he begins working for the irascible Captain Wesley James on his sheep station.

James' station is on the frontier of volatile relations between workers and boss, between convicts and free men, and especially between the new settlers and the land's Indigenous inhabitants. And as tensions escalate Sam finds himself caught up in an horrific act of frontier violence, an event that will change him forever.
