Zwei Brüder treffen sich am Zaun, der ihre Farmen voneinander trennt. Tief im Outback sind sie einander die einzigen Nachbarn. Ihre Häuser liegen vier Stunden Autofahrt voneinander entfernt. Cam, der dritte Bruder, der die Familienranch verwaltete, liegt tot zu ihren Füßen. Er ist allein in der Hitze gestorben. Die beiden Männer bringen ihren Bruder heim auf die Ranch. Aber in der tiefen Trauer wächst das Misstrauen. Was, wenn Cam keines natürlichen Todes gestorben ist? Was, wenn Isolation und Einsamkeit hier im Nirgendwo die Menschen verändern - zum Bösen?

WHY DID CAMERON BRIGHT DIE?
He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him, and his skin was cracked. Whatever had been going through Cameron's mind when he was alive, he didn't look peaceful in death.
Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart.
They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish.
Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects...
