Mystery Road: Origin

It's 1999, and young constable Jay Swan arrives for his new posting in his old stomping grounds. He grew up in the dusty Outback town of Jardine, and his estranged family still lives there.

A cattle truck is pulled over by the robber gang, masquerading as police by using Max's stolen patrol car. Theorizing the gang could be the Sons of the Soil--a group with links to drug dealing, crime, and white supremacists.

Reeling from his father's death, Jay questions whether Jack truly killed himself. He follows his father's trail and discovers that Jack had a secret marijuana plantation on the salt lake, which is being guarded by a woman named Ziggy.

Jay discovers a debt notice among his father's things that he later also finds in mail addressed to his brother, Sputty. Suspecting a scam, Jay grills Sputty, who denies any knowledge of the debt or the business that owes the money.

Artwork and Aboriginal artifacts are stolen during a break-in at the Southwell house, and the police are still struggling to understand what motivates the gang and where they will strike next.

As the first shipments of gold ore are transported from the reopened Southwell mine, the gang intends to intercept the train, but Jay has found clues pointing to their plans. A deadly confrontation results, but it's only the beginning.
