In the heat of the Nullarbor, a young man is shattered by a violent collision, a dying father, and a promise to "be a man." Torn between grief, duty, and a brutal mercy, he must confront what adulthood demands in a landscape where survival is raw and compassion is messy. Red Dust and Black Eyes is a spare, haunting meditation on loss, rites, and the heavy cost of keeping a vow.
