He’s a stranger in a strange land. Or is he?

The land changes; the stories don’t. She recognises him in her forests and mountains, and in the rivers running through her veins. She knows why he’s here. Quinlan is on a collision course with himself in this explosive action-thriller. Like a snake shedding skin, Quinlan will become who he was born to be. The stories are never wrong.

The Kempsey ambulance boys have gone the knuckle on station. Cops have been called, and local management have closed ranks. They’ll accept one man for one week to observe and report. Quinlan is given rank, an ambulance, no chance of success, and the situation turns tragic fast. A vicious local motorcycle gang and bent cops aren’t there to help. Large snakes and kangaroos inhabit the streets by night, and the locals are giving him funny looks.

The dam in Quinlan’s heart will finally break.
