The Australian outback, 1922... four men relentlessly track a fugitive, an Aboriginal man accused of murder. In charge of the expedition is the Fanatic (Gary Sweet), calculating and complex. The Follower (Damon Garneau) is new to the frontier, a greenhorn. The Veteran (Grant Page) is along for the ride, placing thoughts before action. But all three whites are dependent on the mysterious figure of the black Tracker (David Gulpilil - Rabbit Proof Fence). When an interrogation of a small group of bush blacks turns into a massacre, paranoia sets in, and the question becomes not will the fugitive be caught, but what is black and what is white... and who is leading whom?
