Bored school teacher John Grant (Gary Bond) stops overnight in Bundanyabba, a frontier mining town, on his way to Sydney for Christmas. After a bad gambling bet, Grant is swept up in the vortex of a group of hard-drinking, hard-living, crude, vicious men who threaten to make him just as crazy, drunk, and violent.
