In 1919, Travis served as a sniper in World War I and is now a police officer in a vast clearing in northern Australia, losing control during an operation that led to a massacre among indigenous tribes. After his superiors insisted on burying the truth, Travis left in disgust, but was forced to return 12 years later to pursue Bevara, an indigenous warrior whose attacks on the new settlers were causing serious damage. When Travis recruited for a mission to raise Guluk, the truth of the past was revealed, and Travis became the hunted person. Guluk is the only known survivor of the Holocaust.
