The story revolves around Alec and George Law, two brothers living on a sheep station in Queensland, Australia, who are drawn into a perilous quest for gold to save their family's home after falling into debt. As they embark on their journey into the wild and rugged landscape, they encounter numerous challenges and adventures that test their resilience and bravery. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the brothers as they grapple with their family's dire financial situation and their impending loss of their beloved homestead, Wandaroo. After discovering the possibility of finding gold in the nearby mountains, enthusiasm builds as they decide to pursue this risky adventure together, accompanied by local Indigenous guides.
