1814. Van Diemen's Land, the notorious British penal colony has dissolved into chaos. Bush rangers have pushed the colonial government to breaking point. Driven by a deep sense of loyalty and an unquenchable hatred towards those he once served, convict Michael Howe and a young aboriginal girl turn a desperate band of convicts, deserters and bushmen into a fearsome guerrilla army and lead them in open rebellion. © 2013 Screen Australia, The Crown in Right of Tasmania and Cordell Jigsaw Productions.
