Summary
Violence erupts as Uncle Duck and the family confront their number one suspect.
On the surface, Tamworth in 1988 is a typical Aussie town with rodeos, farmers and an active Country Women’s Association. But beneath the friendly veneer, there’s a thriving criminal underbelly. Large marijuana crops grow on the outskirts of town and there are reports of bikie gangs with links to corrupt cops on the take.
The police investigation into Mark’s death has stalled allowing gossip and innuendo to take hold. The family know Mark occasionally smoked marijuana, but now they’re hearing whispers that he might’ve have got on the wrong side of some serious criminals.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s the first plausible explanation for Mark’s death they’ve heard. The family decide to confront the man rumoured to have killed Mark... with ugly consequences.
