Treasure & Dirt

Based on the novel by Chris Hammer, Treasure & Dirt, is set in a dying opal town in the middle of the desert, where law and order are little more than myths. Thieves raid the mines, zealots preach salvation to the lost, and billionaire magnates play god.

When a miner is found beheaded and left to decompose in the depths of his own small claim, big-city homicide detective Ivan Lucic is sent to investigate. Assigned to him is former local constable Nell Buchanan, who knows how this place really works – and how it warps people. Together, they’re drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, greed, and old sins that won’t stay buried. As the case twists into something darker and more surreal, Ivan and Nell can’t tell whether it’s the town that’s unravelling or themselves.
