| Description |
In the not too distant future, internal terrorism has rocked New Zealand. Maori who protested against the government's abolition of Maori seats are widely blamed for civil unrest. The most notorious protester 'Te Kaupoi' runs a pirate radio show that encourages Maori to gather and overthrow the illegal government. On the barren plains of the North Island's central volcanic plateau, a mysterious young woman, Sarah, lies unconscious, bloodied and beaten. Zeke Edwards is a cowboy on his last circuit before the government closes internal travel. His mother, Mary (aka Mere), lives in the old family homestead - planting trees, she stumbles across Sarah. Who can you trust? |
