A newcomer to Broome, Colin Everett is drawn into a fierce dispute about native title known as 'the Bradshaw case'. The disappearance of a key witness points to threats of blackmail, or even worse.To win the case for the Aboriginal claimants, Colin and his fellow lawyers have to find the witness, get the better of their opponents, and probe the origin of ancient rock art in the Kimberley region. The case ends in a swirl of controversy and a crucial verdict. It offers a poignant glimpse of how the future can be shaped by half-truths and human failings, by contested versions of the past.
