Fred Archer: Director, Liaison Unit of indigenous affairs: an indigenous puppet of the administrators or a renegade in disguise?
Bilago: a drunk, who carries the secret that can unravel the past.
Edward Blyth: Chief Minister of the Northern Territory: Imperious in his belief of aboriginal management, and that "white is right".
Arlene: beautiful, emotional, and fragmented from a life of racialism... Will she emerge triumphant or broken?
