The world's largest cattle station, Marianne Station, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, has been owned for generations by the Lawson family dynasty. It becomes a prize to be sought after by rival cattle station families, various gangsters, Australian Aboriginal elders, and mining magnates, when patriarch Colin Lawson's favoured son, Daniel, dies after a suspicious riding accident.
As Daniel has been managing the cattle station and heading up the powerful Territory Cattlemens' Association, a twofold major battle for succession begins at Dan's funeral.
