Schoolteacher John Grant plans a brief stopover in the outback town of Bundanyabba before his holiday in Sydney. Lured into a gambling game, he loses all his money. Stranded and broke, he's drawn into the town's culture of excessive drinking and aggressive hospitality. His journey spirals into a nightmarish descent into debauchery and violence, including a brutal kangaroo hunt, leading to a complete mental breakdown and a desperate attempt to escape his own self - destruction.
