Western Australia, 1931. Government policy includes taking half-white, half-Aboriginal children from their Aboriginal mothers and sending them a thousand miles away to what amounts to indentured servitude, "to save them from themselves." Molly, Daisy, and Grace (two sisters and a cousin who are fourteen, ten, and eight) arrive at their Gulag and promptly escape, under Mollys lead. For several days they walk north, following a fence that keeps rabbits from settlements, eluding a native tracker and the regional constabulary. Their pursuers take orders from the governments "Chief Protector of Aborigines", A.O. Neville, blinded by Anglo-Christian certainty, evolutionary world view, and conventional wisdom. Can the girls survive?
Its 1931 in Western Australia. A.O. Neville is the governments official in dealing with Aborigine issues. Under the law, he has the right to seize "half-caste" children, those with both Aborigine and white parentage, to be housed on native settlements, where they are to be "re-educated" to western ways, eventually to become servants for whites. The assertion is that this measure will protect the Aborigine population, as if they are left to intermingle within Aborigine communities, half-castes will turn the community white, as the weaker Aborigine gene will be bred out within a few generations. It is under this law, that Neville seizes, amongst others, sisters, fourteen-year-old , and eight-year-old , and their ten-year-old cousin Gracie Fields. Ever since arriving at the Moore River Native Settlement camp, Molly plans to escape with her sister and cousin, and walk all of the way back to Jigalong to their real home, real family, and their traditional way of life. Molly uses the three thousand kilometer (one thousand eight hundred sixty-four mile) long rabbit-proof fence, which runs adjacent to Jigalong to navigate her way home. But Neville and his trackers will not let a bunch of half-caste girls circumvent the law and its associated grand plan.
