A gripping tale of murder and prejudice from the Miles Franklin Award-winning author of Too Much Lip.

Koori teenager Darcy Mango is young, broke and on parole. His biggest problem isn't tracking down his mob in northern New South Wales or finding a place to live.

After he gets work on the Menzies horse farm, Darcy's fate gets mixed up with a strange, old-fashioned camera found in the rainforest. What it reveals might never let him go.
