Odette Brown has lived her entire life on the fringes of Deane, a small Australian country town.

For thirteen years, Odette has quietly raised her granddaughter without drawing notice from welfare authorities who remove fair-skinned Aboriginal children from their families. But the arrival of a new policeman throws the Brown women's lives off-kilter.
