Charlie Duval is a prominent Aboriginal athlete, AustraliaÂ’s best hope for an Olympic field events gold medal. So what is he doing in an American prison charged with a double murder?
But Charlie dismisses his American lawyer, and the situation seems bleak. Then Sandie Ferguson, LLB, comes into his life, and Charlie discovers that she too is Australian.
As Sandie fights to save the man she has always admired, the powerful forces at work beneath the surface of their lives burst out. The dramatic events leading to the trial blend with the story of an ancient Negro king, and the burning question emerges: what does it mean to be an Australian in the modern world?
