This ancient, creaky, timber structure, straddling a creek on a narrow road in a remote area of inland Australia, becomes the proving ground where the lives of three unrelated families come together in a turbulent clash with unexpected consequences..
Their collision takes place not long after a violent storm has devastated the area surrounding the bridge. One of the families is carrying a wild card, something all powerful and unstoppable. It's something that will change everything... FOREVER.
On February 3rd, 2011, Cyclone Yasi destroyed towns along the North Queensland Coast and across four states, before petering out over the ocean two days later. That's a fact. And now for the fiction.
Steering is a small country town in Northwestern Victoria. McKenzie's Bridge lies a few kilometers out of town. As Cyclone Yasi evolves into a series of tropical storms ravaging the area, three families are travelling along different routes headed for the bridge.
Meanwhile, as dense fog shrouds the district in an impenetrable blanket, blurring and distorting the carnage at the bridge, locals are being rescued from the rooftops of their sheds as flood waters surge across the land.
Finally there's the good guy cop, called to the scene to wash away the blood and tend to the maimeded. He's new in town, exiled from the city for causing a media storm. Nobody's thought to tell him, but someone's after him, with a score to settle.
Farmers are out early the next morning, inspecting the damage, not suspecting for one moment they are about to walk into the center of a different disaster. And this one's not of nature's making.
McKenzie's Bridge... Where Nightmares become reality
