Revolutionary leader, Nellie Millergoorra, campaigns for an Aboriginal homeland to preserve Indigenous culture by advocating the prohibition of mining in Arnhem Land using a United Nations declaration to convince a disrespectful government to sign a treaty. Nellie will do whatever it takes to end government regulation over her people. When there is no agreement, she recruits South African mercenary special forces to inflame community disorder establishing an Aboriginal revolutionary movement. Using high-tech intervention, the mercenaries control the national energy grid instigating violent anarchy and chaos on the streets with their covert intent to embezzle money when security systems are disabled. A dismissive government is forced to the negotiation table to agree on a peace agreement and end the mounting hostile revolution. Millergoorra demands sovereignty for First Nations, declaring a partitioned homeland is non-negotiable. In an extraordinary confrontation with a reluctant prime minister, threatened with an ultimatum he can't ignore, Millergoorra negotiates a treaty whilst facing her own battle for survival.
