    Summary:

    In 2004 on Palm Island, an Aboriginal settlement in the "deep north" of Australia, Doomadgee was arrested for swearing at a white police officer. Forty minutes later he was dead in the jailhouse, his liver ruptured. This account goes to the heart of a struggle for power, revenge, and justice.
