Tasked with defending a group of Aboriginal people implicated in a murder case, a white solicitor in Sydney is soon haunted by vivid dreams, while unusual weather unsettles the city. Exploring the bond between the mystical world and physical reality, this enigmatic film charts the effects of colonialism on body and soul, finding hope in a story of connection and self-discovery.
