TWO BOYS, BATTERED BY DRUNK FATHERS – ONE BECOMES A SERIAL KILLER,
THE OTHER HIS PREY … AND HIS NEMESIS A STORY OF SECRETS AND THE
QUEST FOR REDEMPTION “Redemption is born of guilt, and weighs heavy
on even the strongest man.” – Stephen King Set in the small,
isolated community of Blackwater… Blackwater Moon is a story of
secrets and the quest for redemption. Spanning the lives of two
people, the victim and the perpetrator… Blackwater Moon explores the
consequences of living with a past shaped by life’s tragedies and
how a single shared incident shapes their lives forever. Andy Walker,
son, lover, and an ex-soldier, knows tragedy is only ever a heartbeat
away. When an inmate escapes from the prison farm upriver and abducts
Nathan, a child Andy has vowed to protect after losing his own son
years before, Walker draws on his inner soldier to deliver Nathan from
harm, discovering that the escapee is a dark figure from his past, the
devil who changed his life, the man who introduced him as a child to
‘The Game’. The story ends as it began, with the same two people
on the banks of Blackwater’s river – only this time Walker has a
gun and a choice to make. And so in the end, Blackwater may keep just
one more secret… AN EVOCATIVE AUSTRALIAN LANDSCAPE OF FATHER-SON
