An elderly aboriginal man stumbles into the small town of Ramsay. When questioned by Jimmy Boy and the town doctor, he narrates an unbelievable tale of cruelty and exploitation, through the interpreter Jacky. His tribe has been kidnapped by drovers from their native land in Gulumada (the Blue Mountains) and taken north to a sheep station owned by a ruthless land baron, where they are chained and forced to work as forced labour; it is up to Jacky and his friend Jimmy Boy to set off on an epic journey to set them free. Accompanying them are the loveable larrikins, Wells and Jennings. The tale is the compelling conclusion to the Jimmy Boy series, and deals with the themes of lost loves, corruption and the search for identity, all the while exposing the inhumane treatment of the aboriginal people of Australia.
