Shane pulls from the wreckage a wooden effigy he placed on the bridge for a laugh. Will comes from Melbourne to oversee his company's second attempt at the project, bringing his daughter Rachel, a gawky, confused teenager. They move in next to Janice, a new mother going through a rough time. Gussy and Father Nott - the gossip and the priest - are locals to the harsh, hot, red town of Mululuk. But it's the mysterious Charlie - a scruffy, charismatic alcoholic, trailing into town through the dust - who may hold a terrifying, secret solution to the failures of mathematics and engineering.
