 m&nbsp\;a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to&nbsp\;Yula
 ra\, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road.</p>\n<p>The last time 
 Arlo was home\, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arl
 o was found guilty by&nbsp\;association. His return to the former goldrush
  town is like&nbsp\;cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violen
 ce\,&nbsp\;along with memories of the people he loved &ndash\; the ones&nb
 sp\;he couldn't save.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Yulara wants Arlo gone\, or worse\, but
  every insult and&nbsp\;humiliation pushes him to confront what really hap
