Australia, mordern-day
When Detective John Pomeroy's wife Lalaili, asks him to look into the mysterious death of young Jimmy Jungarai, an Aboriginal youth from a remote Aboriginal community in the middle of Australia's dry Desert country, the Detective begins to understand just how large his home country really is. Before long, the Detective is wondering if it is only the land that's large? Since beginning this case, his own life has become large: with 'out-a-the-box' situations and events occurring much too frequently for his liking.
During the international investigation, Detective Pomeroy begins to expand his case notes and his mind; at any and every chance that presents itself.
