The scene is set east of Geraldton at Flintlock, Down Under, in drought-affected wheat and sheep farmlands where kangaroos hop about in thunder. Identical triplet boys Cyril, Connor and Sean Bransky are the mirror image of neighbour cousin Chase Kattler. Cyril becomes a detective stationed in Perth. Connor farms with his father Reuben. Sean develops rational problems from birth and placed into a mental asylum. Chase farms alongside his belligerent roaming father Fritz. Connor stands accused of viciously killing his brother Sean in cell 17. Cyril arrives home to help hunt for Sean’s killer. Mystery surrounds more family murders as added suspects become evident to the fractious law force.
