The Drover’s Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson

In the remote Australian outback of 1893, Molly Johnson and her children face a relentless struggle for survival as they grapple with the harshness of their isolated surroundings. Abandoned by her husband who had set off droving sheep in the high country, Molly's life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a shackled Aboriginal fugitive named Yakada on her property. Injured and desperate, Yakada forges a tenuous connection with Molly as he gradually reveals secrets about her true lineage. These revelations not only call into question the whereabouts of her husband but also prompt Nate Clintoff, the newly appointed town lawman, to become increasingly suspicious of the situation. He sends his constable to further investigate this burgeoning mystery that transcends both family ties and cultural boundaries.
