Set against the stunning landscapes of 1930s Arnhem Land, High Ground tells the story of a young Aboriginal man, Gutjuk (Jacob Junior Nayinggul).
In a bid to save the last of his family, Gutjuk teams up with ex-soldier Travis (Simon Baker) to track down Baywara (Sean Mununggurr), the most dangerous warrior in the Northern Territory, who is also his uncle.
As Travis and Gutjuk journey through the outback they begin to earn each other’s trust. But when the truth of Travis’ past actions is revealed, it is he who becomes the hunted.
