Plot summary
In Sydney, a legal aide asks David Burton, a corporate tax lawyer, to help defend five Aboriginal men, Chris, Gerry, Jocko, Larry and Lindsey, charged with the manslaughter of Billy Corman. The men sought him out because his work had brought him into contact with Aboriginal clients. Billy died during a drunken fight outside a bar in one of a run of freak storms; knocked to the ground, he drowned in a pool of water. The accused say little and deny killing him. David has been losing sleep to dreams of running water and drowned bodies, and among the men he meets a figure from those dreams, Chris.
