Maxine Millar

Terry's life lurches from crisis to crisis as she runs a 1, 000 acre farm, alone, plagued by poverty, constant sabotage, theft, overdue maintenance and corrupted law. She and her likewise besieged neighbours, finally decide to act. Into this turmoil comes Gary, injured and needing help. He tries to help Terry but there is a problem. He is an uncorrupted cop and due to constant theft, most of Terry's income is illegal.
There follows a dance of hide and seek mixed with legal and illegal hunting in New Zealand.
