Zgodba se odvija v avstralski osupljivi pokrajini v 30. letih prejšnjega stoletja. Policist Travis je priča krvavemu pokolu aboriginskega plemena. Ko njegovi nadrejeni prikrijejo resnico, Travis zapusti domačo pokrajino. Toda dvanajst let pozneje se je prisiljen vrniti, saj mora izslediti nevarnega aboriginskega bojevnika Baywaro, ki s svojimi napadi ustrahuje nove priseljence. Travis združi moči z mladim aboridginom Gutjukom, ki je edini preživel pokol. Toda ko na dan pride skrivnost iz Travisove preteklosti, se njuno prijateljstvo znajde na preizkušnji.
Set against the stunning landscapes of 1930s Arnhem Land, HIGH GROUND chronicles young Aboriginal man Gutjuk, who in a bid to save the last of his family teams up with ex-soldier Travis to track down Baywara - the most dangerous warrior in the Territory, who is also his uncle. As Travis and Gutjuk journey through the outback they begin to earn each other's trust, but when the truths of Travis' past actions are suddenly revealed, it is he who becomes the hunted.
