A stagecoach driver (Hugo Weaving) goes to work for a dying, one-armed aristocrat (Rupert Everett) in 1860s Australia.

Directed and adapted for the screen by an all-female team (director DI DREW and screenwriter HELEN HODGMAN)-a rarity for the era-this lavish and ambitious Australian period drama was shot mostly on location in Bathurst, New South Wales.
