A youthful Richard Chamberlain takes on more than he bargained for in helping a group of Aboriginals and the mystery of a slaying. He becomes involved in the civil law of the land and the tribal law of the native people, and as the inevitable clash occurs, Chamberlain, an attorney, finds himself being pulled deeper and deeper into the mystery. The powerful "dream time" has a life of its own and proves to be the ultimate law. Classic Peter Weir.
