Molly Craig (Everlyn Sampi) é uma jovem australiana de 14 anos que, em 1931, ao lado de sua irmã Daisy (Tianna Sansbury), de 10 anos, e sua prima Gracie (Laura Monaghan), de 8 anos, foge de um campo do governo britânico da Austrália, criado para treinar mulheres arborígenes para serem empregadas domésticas. Molly guia as meninas por quase três mil quilômetros através do interior do país, em busca da cerca que o divide e que a permitiria voltar para sua aldeia de origem, de onde foram tiradas dos braços de suas mães. Na jornada elas são perseguidas pelos homens do terrível governador A. O. Neville (Kenneth Branagh), o qual não admite que as meninas não estejam de acordo com o ditado pela sabedoria branca e cristã.

Leaving her Melbourne existence for a new life on her husband's isolated ranch, Jeannie's feisty, good-natured attitude soon wins over the misogynistic stockmen, but she faces a much tougher challenge in trying to change their racist attitudes towards the indigenous aboriginal population.
