Paddy Maguire deliberately creates a feud between his sons, Rory and Mike, by leaving his entire fortune to the last surviving brother. When Rory is facing bankruptcy, even jail, he decides there is only one solution: his brother has to die. But Mike, having just recovered from cancer, has retired to Far North Queensland, and the Queensland border is closed because of Covid. Urged on by his grasping wife and a drug-dealing mistress, Rory smuggles himself across the border and heads north, intent on murder. But nothing can prepare him for what awaits him there.
