"In this gripping legal thriller, an Australian lawyer named David Burton finds himself entangled in a complex case involving the defense of a group of Aboriginal people accused of murdering one of their own. Initially hesitant to take on the case, he senses that the victim's death may have been orchestrated due to a breach of tribal customs. However, his clients adamantly deny any connection to their ancient traditions.As Burton delves deeper into the investigation, he is plagued by haunting visions of water and begins to question his own role in this intricate web of prophecies and tribal laws. The line between justice and superstition gradually blurs, leaving the lawyer grappling with the potential consequences of his involvement. This intense drama explores the clash between modern law and ancient customs, ultimately challenging us to confront our preconceptions about tradition, culture, and truth."
