The disappearance and death of Francis, a photographer, in unexplained circumstances has police and medical personnel baffled.


In the sparse dry sandy deserts of the Kimberley in Western Australia, Phoebe, the last survivor of an Indigenous tribe whose ancestors go far back into the mists of time, feels the psychic power of her young friend Nancy and then Rose (an unknown white woman), seeking to find their mutual friend Francis.


And so begins a series of events that delve into the far distant past with devastating consequences - forcing the women to face danger, flood and death in the far outback.


But will they uncover what happened to their friend?
