The reconstruction and 'solving' of a previously unsolved and sensational murder, which occurred on the remote Carpentaria Downs cattle station in the Gulf Country of Far North Quensland in 1908. The murder of Nellie Duffy - housekeeper, governess and one-time mistress of the station manager Henry Wilson - was a famous case in its day, making national news for months (indeed it still lives on in the folk memory of the Far North today). The story is told her in compelling detail and a convincing case presented against one hiterto blameless individual. All the elements of a classic 'whodunnit' are present, an oppressed wife, a villainous, adulterous husband, a promiscuous governess, her long-suffering boyfriend/fiance, a hot and isolated homestead - plus bumbling cops, innocent but terrorised Aboriginal station workers used as scapegoats, a botched trial and a 'Nobody's Guilty' trial verdict!
