In a small Australian outback town named Limbo, detective Travis Hurley arrives to investigate a 20-year-old unsolved homicide of a young Aboriginal woman, Charlotte Hayes. The desolate region is pocked with caves, opal mines, and dusty unpaved roads. Hurley attempts to interview Charlotte's brother, Charlie, who excavates an opal mine, and her sister, Emma, who waitresses at a local café. Hurley is at first rebuffed by both Charlie and Emma, neither of whom seem inclined to cooperate with the re-opened investigation of their sister's murder. Eventually, they come to trust Hurley and share recollections which implicate Joseph, a debilitated elderly white man whose late brother, Leon, threw parties to attract young Black girls to his cave. Though some figures who were witnesses to the parties are now dead, others who still live in the area provide enough clues for Hurley to piece together a likely scenario about Charlotte's murder.
