Two strangers—a white man and a black man—steal a car in western NSW and drive toward the coast. Jack is abrasive, cunning, deeply disparaging of Aborigines, while Gary is indifferent, seeking escape. Along the way they pick up Gary’s Uncle Joe, a French hitchhiker and a young woman fleeing her past. Their petty crimes mount, propelling them toward disaster.
