Set in the tropics of Australia's wild north, this series takes the noir/private-eye template as a starting point to explore a wild and lawless era - Far North Queensland of the 1970s & 1980s. Through decades of personal experience in Far North Australia, much research, and many interviews with colourful identities, he is recreating an untold time and place.
