To a remote part of the Queensland coast come the hundreds of sails of the northern pearling fleets and a native policeman trying to solve a murder. It is the end of the nineteenth century, and one of the most powerful hurricanes, Mahina is moving across the Coral Sea. Nearly two thousand people are gathering around Cape Melville, right in the path of the storm that is about to cause Australia's deadliest natural disaster. Based on real events, this is the story of an unstoppable force of nature and the birth and death of an Australian dream.
