Near the rural town of Winton, Queensland, a truck driver hears a wild dog growling and finds the body of a teenage girl named Julie Mason inside one of the tunnels. Newly promoted Detective Jay Swan returns from training in the city to investigate the murder. He learns that Julie was a drug addict who would have sex with truck drivers for money. He questions a local girl, Tani Williams, but she refuses to speak to him. One night, Jay follows his colleagues, Johnno and Robbo, and sees them arrive at drug lab. When Jay drives off, they flag him down, and Johnno asks Jay if he has ever killed anyone accidentally.

A neighbourhood boy tells Jay that he found Julie’s phone and gives it to him. Jay finds several text messages to his teenage daughter, Crystal. He visits his ex-wife Mary and speaks to Crystal. He asks her if she wants to move to the city with him, but she declines. Mary tells Jay that it is too late for him to be a father. Jay searches a farm and meets its owner, Sam Bailey. Before Jay leaves, he sees a young man leaving in a white hunting truck. Jay finds out that teenage girl Nellie Dargon has also gone missing. Upon hearing that Julie frequented the Dusk till Dawn motel to sleep with truckers, Jay sets out to find a man who was there the night of her death.

When he asks the motel owner about frequent guests who stayed on that night, she tells him about William Smith, who drives a white hunting truck. Jay tracks the car down and arrives at a house in the middle of nowhere. Upon seeing Smith, Jay realises he is the same man he saw at Sam’s farm. Smith insults Jay, refuses to speak, and states that he works as a kangaroo hunter. He and his biker roommate intimidate Jay. Jay goes back to the police station and searches for Smith’s police record, but fails to find one. He finds that Smith is actually Sam’s son, Pete, a man with a long criminal record.

The next day, Jay follows Pete onto a local street. Pete gets out of his car and Johnno enters, unaware of Jay. Jay follows Johnno to a rest stop where he meets up with a local criminal named Wayne Silverman. When Jay arrives at Wayne’s house, Wayne flees, but Jay catches and arrests him. Wayne mentions that he stole a car that contained heroin, but he subsequently lost the drugs. Johnno interrupts the interrogation to release Wayne, who is his informant. Jay stakes out the drug lab, and sees a man in an orange car hand over Wayne to someone in a Land Rover. Jay later meets Johnno at a diner. Johnno ignores his questions, including the suspicious death of a coworker, but states that he is looking for something missing. After Jay searches Julie’s house and finds several bags of heroin, he calls Johnno to arrange a trade at a hill off Mystery Road.

The exchange initially goes well, but a hidden shooter wounds Jay in the arm. A shootout ensues as Jay runs back to his car for cover. Jay sees Pete’s truck in distance, and Pete uses his hunting rifle to shoot at at Jay. One of the men attempts to flank Jay but is shot by Johnno, who supports Jay with a sniper rifle. Jay shoots several people dead, including a masked man revealed to be Robbo, the driver of the orange car, and Pete’s biker roommate. Pete and Johnno exchange long distance shots as Jay kills the rest of the criminals. As Pete flees, Jay spots Johnno’s dead body. After disabling Pete’s truck, the two exchange fire, and Jay kills Pete. In a Land Rover, Jay finds Sam in the back shot through the neck and a necklace with Julie’s name on it.

At sunset, Jay returns to Winton and sees Mary and Crystal waiting for him. He gets out of the car, and the three stare at each other as the Sun sets.
