Australia 1853. One of the biggest gold rushs in history is at its peak. People come from all over the world to try their luck on the gold fields of the Australian outback. The young Danish soldier Morton Lund meets the Scottish gold mining veteran Jack Turnbull and his wife Harriet. Since Morton's youthful energy and Jack's experience complement each other perfectly, the two decide to join forces in the quest for gold. However, the deeper they dig and the closer they think they are to the great find, the more they come to their own abyss - until gread and envy finally take over.
